I'd stay away from Haven to be honest, go for Park Homes, they seem to offer more for the money when we looked. As I say, don't disregard it, see if you can get up there for the weekend (keep all the receipts for food, travel, accomodation etc...) as this would be business trip that you can claim for if you decide to go for it. Devon & Cornwall is quite popular and Newquay would mean you can still rent out in the colder months if the weather is bad as people go to surf. park homes offer the £19 holidays so even in the off peak seasons you can make £100 a week for a 6 berth van. This way it is more about disposing of the money and then using your investment to bring money in slowly. I think there is a DVD pack you can apply for as well. As I ai, it was just a thought as it would mean you do not have the money in hand and that you can get an additional income.
I hope everything goes well for you, whatever you decide to do. x0 -

This isn't as much fun as boob jobs, new cars & holidays but why not use the money to take some fast-track training course & increase your earning potential? Hopefully then at the end you'll still have a bit leftover & double your wage.0

What about investing some of the money in learning something/re-training in a profession that will enable you to earn more money once you are more free to do so.
And if you can use that skill in the meantime to bring in extra income, that'd be good too wouldn't it?0 -

il just hide some of it in someone elses bank. prob the easiest way
not an easy way - I've done a couple of cases prosecuting people for benefit fraud when they did something like this....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
With the country possibly heading into a recession no way would I invest all my savings in leisure. You're talking I assume about high end rentals - middle class occupants. Rising mortgage rates, possibly rising unemployment.
With a guaranteed rental I'd be worried about 2 things: rental co going bust or, to try to recoup their outgoings to you, to reduce rents and attract em..... 'Shameless' type families who won't exactly look after it.
Not sure from what I've read if you actually need income from savings or are trying to 'get rid of them' to stop you frittering. If the former go for some kind of income bond, if the latter for an account where you're tied in for 5 years. Go over to the savings & investment board & ask for advice - no property is right for you at the moment IMHO.
Good luck!A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
