The Vivat Trust, who purchased and restored historic homes in the UK, then turned them into vacation rentals, has gone out of business. This is sad news. And more sad for people who have bookings with them and now hope they can get their money back.
The Vivat Trust - Information regarding the Liquidation of The Vivat Trust Limited 16-07-2015
I removed them from the Slow Europe Vacation Rental listings but I kept my review on the forums with a note that they have gone out of business (in case it appears again as a vacation rental).
This is the notice they posted:
Mary Currie-Smith and Louise Baxter of Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP have been instructed by the directors of The Vivat Trust Limited and Vivat Management Services Limited to place the two businesses into Liquidation. Notices of the relevant meetings have been issued and the companies will go into Liquidation on 6 August 2015. The Insolvency Practitioners have been informed by the directors of the Companies that a number of customers have paid deposits or paid in full for the short-term rental of properties owned by the Vivat Trust Limited. Once appointed the Liquidators will investigate whether or not the deposits were held in a Trust account and, if appropriate, look into the possibility of returning monies paid.
