Cumbria Park Hotel, Cumbria UK
Historic Property to Become Condo Hotel with Leaseback Program
November 27, 2018
Hello. Joel Greene here from Condo Hotel Center.
I have to admit I’m not one to closely follow politics but even the most passive observer knows that President Trump’s “thing” is to build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Whether Trump’s wall will get built is still up for discussion, but the idea of a border wall can be traced way back in history.
In 117AD, Hadrian (evidently no need for last names back then) became the Roman Emperor. Much like Trump, one of the cornerstones of his campaign had been to make the empire more secure. He promised to build a great wall, separating Roman Britain from Scotland and its “barbarians.”
It was a gargantuan task and an astounding feat of engineering. When complete, the wall stretched 73 miles from coast to coast across northern England. It took 14 years and more than 15,000 men to complete. In the end, it accomplished what Hadrian wanted: the ability to control the movements of people coming into or leaving Roman Britain.
Other than the relevance to Trump’s dream wall, I do have a reason for telling you about Hadrian’s Wall. Today’s featured property, a condo hotel with an attractive leaseback program, is located in the town where it was built. Read on for details.
The Appeal of Cumbria Park Hotel
Initially a mansion built in 1787, Cumbria Park Hotel has been carefully restored and developed over the years into a thriving hotel with a proven track record. It is located in an area considered one of the most beautiful regions of the UK.
Beginning in 2019, Cumbria Park Hotel will get a complete refurbishment to improve an already high 75% occupancy rate and increase revenues. It will become a boutique condo hotel with the rooms sold to individual buyers.
Those buyers will then be expected to lease their rooms back to the developer for a 10% net return. That return is guaranteed for the first five years of ownership, producing income from day one of purchase.
After five years, owners who elect to keep their unit will get a 50/50 split of the net room revenue. For those who want to sell in year five, the developer is offering the option of a 120% assured buy-back. (Combined with your annual return, that would give you a return of 14% per annum.)
So, while you may not have ever dreamt of owning a vacation home in Cumbria, England, this particular property may satisfy other real estate ownership objectives.
