Fractional ownership is a legal structure that allows like-minded individuals to buy high net worth properties in 1/4, 1/6 or 1/8 shares, dramatically reducing the initial purchase cost and the ongoing holding and maintenance costs. Fractional ownership gives real estate title to the purchasers either directly via the registration of the title deeds, via a holding company owned by the individual purchasers or a trust structure. This will be dependent on the country involved. Fractional ownership affords purchasers all the benefits of owning a property abroad, fantastic holidays for them and their family, capital appreciation, rental incomes but insulates them against many of the downsides, high purchase cost, high annual costs, high furniture costs, high management costs, long periods that the property will stay empty.

We set aside a number of units at each development to be sold on a Fractional basis. The legal framework for the fractional sale has all been drawn up and fully compliant for the development and the country and to comply with the European Legislation that protects purchasers of a fractional property. Within the contracts are the Revolving Usage Calendars which dictate each owners usage times. These rotate giving everyone access to the prime weeks on a fair basis. These calendars are crucial and have to be innovative and flexible enough to cover Ski, Golf, Beach and Full Winter user as well as allowing two single week periods in the low seasons for maintenance and repair of the property to take place without inconveniencing the fractional owners. We provide 125 years of Revolving Usage Calendar which allows client to plan their usage and rental requirements well in advance.

Buying a property on a Fractional basis makes great sense when you consider your usage, expectations and budgets. Enhancing this is the reduction in your annual costs which will be divided amongst the home owners proportionate to their share of ownership. This makes a considerable saving on your ownership costs especially when a property bought on a full ownership basis stays empty for many months of the year but the costs still accrue.

All fractional properties come fully furnished and ready to use with a management company in place to oversee the smooth operation of your property. This will include the cleaning, maintenance, inventory and where applicable rental of any weeks either you or friends and family are not using.
