Handholding services
 introduction

Handholding - introduction H4 - Handholding overseas H5 - Handholding UK buy to let H6 - Handholding - self build

The handholding services are an executive service like the H3 finding service, and makes use of the same experts and our whole range of club contacts. It is designed to empower you rather than undertake a task and to be an on-demand service, so you can make as little or as much use as you want of it.

Handholding as the name suggests involves being available to you, and talking through projects with you so as to minimize the chance of you making mistakes. It is a form of consultancy, but designed not to do a job for you, but to empower you to do it yourself. So it, in part teaches you techniques or skills, and in part is a sounding board for you to try out your ideas or plans with, as well as a source of knowledge. If you feel you want your adviser to go to a meeting with you or check something out for you then he will.

There is a distinct difference between undertaking a task for you and empowering you to do it yourself. With the first you will, in the future, also need to use a service, while with the second you gain the skills to undertake it yourself. The amount of handholding you may feel you need will vary from one person to another, and this is an on demand service so you choose when you want handholding. You make all your decisions, he is there just to advise you and to make sure you are aware of options that perhaps you have not considered.

Take for example a property finding operation for 'buy to let', you might decide you need help to define your needs and know where to look, then feel confident to go looking at properties on your own, coming back for more handholding when you think you have found the ideal property and want to check out the plan ahead from there. From this meeting you progress well, until an unexpected problem arises and you need to talk it over, not again using the service until you decide to sell the property and then looking at how you could get the maximum return on it.

Using the finding services requires a registration fee for the service, which includes the first meeting of up to half a day at the directors home and office in the Cotswold's, you can be picked up from and returned to Cheltenham railway station if you want to travel by train. Beyond this you are charged on a an hourly basis, with a minimum billing on any call of 15 minutes, plus if you want him to go anywhere else in the UK the time involved  plus a mileage charge. Any other costs you want him to incur are covered at cost by you. The fees vary from one of the handholding services to another in line with the cost of keeping the knowledge required up to date.

There are three handholding services in this group, and two more from the service menu, 

  • Handholding overseas property 
  • Handholding UK buy to let, this can include the sourcing or property right through to eventually selling a property
  • Handholding UK self build
You just select which is relevant to you. 

If during the first meeting, you decide instead of the handholding service to use the H3 service then the initial registration for the handholding service is credited in full towards the first stage of the H3 fees.

Each of the individual handholding services is explained further and available from buttons on the top of this page.

Other handholding services in relation to selling and business management are on separate pages available from the main services page.

General notice: The club and providers of the information are not financial advisors, the information we provide is equivalent to that you might reasonably expect to find in a quality magazine. It is, as far as we can, well researched, facts checked, and independent, unless clearly shown as a club service. The application of this knowledge is down to you and you must decide what is relevant to you in your own circumstances and if you do not have the ability to decide for yourself  you should seek whatever legal or financial advice that you feel is appropriate. Our crystal balls are well polished, but the future even for us can be less than accurately viewed, and therefore you should consider any projection or view that we may present in relation to the future as a mixture of foresight based on information and probability, personal views with a bit of guesswork thrown in, in exactly the same way as any other person or organizations forecasts are. We will of course try to update our information and views as developments occur, or governments or others change the rules of the game. We can make mistakes, or have written something that makes perfect sense to us, but may be unclear for others, if you feel we have then you should let us know, we also like to be told what a good job we are doing.
