We're nterested in a NW based company:
https://www.share-a-campervan.co.uk
who put together small syndicates of people to take part ownership in a new campervan that they then get a rotered amount of weeks per year in. Has anyone come across them or know anyone who has signed up with them?
We'd love a new campervan but a) can't afford the whole thing and b) would only use it for a few weeks in summer hols, easter and some weekends etc... - so this looks a pretty good arrangement, plus they recommend the syndicate sell after 6 years when it still holds good value and hasn't got to the age of major mechnical faults yet...then you get a fair bit of your original capital back. The company don't own anything (just act as agents and get paid a small % fee for putting all the right legal shared-ownership docs in place).
Anyone think of any downsides - apart from not ending up in a sydicate with like-minded people?
