Bonds from Big60million solar farms

Aug 26, 2014 1 Replies

Advertised in Sunday newspapers, incl Mail on Sunday. Belongs to Willersley Solar Farms



Paying 7%, duration 5 years, available for SIPP (very tempting). But only looking to raise £4 mill in £60 bonds (seems very small) Kicker for me is "non-transferrable" (why not ???)



Any comments please.


What are the chances of:

Them getting into difficulties and not paying the interest? Them getting into difficulties and not paying back any of the investment?

You have scrutinised their accounts I assume? There's no protection if they do go under.

These are nothing whatsoever like 'bonds' that building societies advertise - I do wish building societies wouldn't call them that.

There's no secondary market. Though I don't know why you aren't able to re-register them to someone if you found a buyer yourself.
