You are a real co-owner in a shared purchase deal (sometimes called fractional ownership). A registered company is entered into the land register as the property owner, and you purchase shares in this company. With this purchase, you become a shareholder, and, therefore, a pro-rata property owner. This has nothing to do with time sharing.

No, a co-ownership is not a timeshare. With OWN18, you are a co-owner, meaning a real owner in a shared purchase deal. This means you become a shareholder in a registered company that owns a specific property. As a shareholder, you have access to the property, day-to-day control, and can use it proportionate to your invested share. We take care of the coordination between co-owners, and the management of the property for you.

Yes, you can unless there are specific local license restrictions, which we will advise you on before you consider a specific second home. To help with maintaining standards and ensuring a consistent experience for all co-owners, we provide an end-to-end rental service. You only have to let us know which dates you wish to rent, and we will make them available.

First of all, all OWN18 homes are located in regions with good infrastructure and a large season. Secondly, OWN18 brings together owners with compatible needs. For example, families with school-age children from different regions (so they don’t have the same school holiday times) are paired with couples without children, or families with adult offspring. Finally the OWN18 app allows you to reserve your stay at any time - from two days to two years in advance. When you arrive, your personal belongings will be out of storage, and the fridge will be stocked on request.

You can sell your shares any time after 12 months of owning them. You can either sell it to someone from your network, or we can assist you to find a buyer. One of the other co-owners may even want to take over your share, which is even easier. And in all cases we offer you a buy-back guarantee on your share price.

The share purchase price includes the following costs: Your share of the cost of the property, according to your selected proportion (1/8, 2/8, 3/8, or 4/8) Incidental purchase costs (land transfer tax, legal fees, legal structure) Review of the property by an expert Legal review of the property Setup of the legal and tax structure Consulting costs if any Renovation and upgrade, including premium furnishings, fixtures, and fittings
