Destinations

How were the Cities chosen?

The Cities were chosen, after significant research, to give the Owners a mix of different cultures, attractions and with an eye to the greatest likelihood of increases to property values over the life of the fund.

What happens if I don’t like one of the Cities?

It can happen!  There is no requirement to go to every property during the lifetime of the Fund – you may find that you have a favourite location that you go back to more often than the others – it is your choice.

The Properties

What services are provided?

The cost of all utilities is included along with a daily maid service as well as a concierge service.

Do you have babysitters / nannies / chefs etc.?

Babysitters / Nannies / chefs etc. will be available to book at extra cost.  You may also wish to book other services such as car hire, transfers from the airport.

What is the Average value of the properties?

The average value of the properties will be over €1.2 Million.

How can I be sure that the properties are up to the standard described?

The Value of the properties is an indication of the standard.

Will the Properties remain the same during the life of the  Fund?

The Properties are likely to remain the same during the life of the  Fund but there may be an instance where it makes financial sense to sell a property (for example if an outstanding offer is received for a particular property).  In that case, another similar property would be purchased in the same location.

Booking

How much time do I get at the properties?

Each Investor holding 1 Unit will receive an average of 14 nights at the properties – this is made up of an average of 7 High season nights  and 7 Mid season nights.

How do I book my nights?

There will be a web site which will allow you to book your nights and see the availability at each of the properties.  Because the properties are likely to vary in value and rental worth, each Investor will receive "Rocksure Pounds" equivalent to the average rental value of the properties of 7 High Season nights and 7 Mid season nights.  This will mean that should you wish to stay at a cheaper property (in Prague, say), you will be able to have more nights there compared to a more expensive property.

What happens if I don’t have enough "Rocksure Pounds" for my selected nights?

Further "Rocksure Pounds" can be purchased and the revenue goes directly into the Property Fund.

Can I give nights to friends or family?

Yes, there are no restrictions on who you give your nights to.  You do, however, retain the responsibility for any damage caused to the property during the period that your friends/family are in residence.

Can I go for less than a week?

The  properties are structured on a 3 night weekend and 4 night mid week basis.  You can go for less than a 3 or 4 nights but the number of "Rocksure Pounds" would be the same as the weekend/midweek rate.  You can also go for a whole week or more, should you wish.

How early can I book my nights?

The investors will have priority in booking nights at the properties and this will be available up to a year ahead.

What happens if the nights I want is not available?

It may happen that another Investor has booked a night at a particular property that you want but the total number of nights allocated to the Investors represents only 69% of the total nights at the properties, so there should be plenty of available space – there is a priority system for peak and high seasons nights for bookings between 1 year and 9 months out, to ensure fairness between investors.

What happens if for some reason, I can’t take all the nights at the property?

Your entitlement can be rolled forward to the following year and can be used for low, and mid seasons. In instances of force majeure (where travel to a particular destination(s) is severely curtailed) when this would have to be reviewed.

Charges

Are there any yearly charges?

There is a small annual management and maintenance charge to help cover the costs of running the properties: It is anticipated that this will be €2,100 per unit for the first year.

Are there any extra charges?

There is a 'Visit Charge' of €200 per visit to each property. No other charges are anticipated during the lifetime of the Fund.

What responsibilities do I have regarding the properties?

The beauty of the concept is that Rocksure Property Ltd. has the responsibility for looking after the properties including all staffing, annual maintenance and utilities.  All you need to do is sit back and enjoy your properties.
