We answer your questions about OWN18

OWN18 applies a margin to the sale of each unit, then charges a monthly fee (€99/month/unit) to cover management, maintenance, insurance and customer service.

Vous êtes copropriétaire dans le cadre d’une vente partagée (parfois appelée propriété fractionnée). Une société enregistrée est inscrite au registre foncier en tant que propriétaire du bien et vous achetez des parts de cette société.

Avec cet achat, vous devenez actionnaire et, par conséquent, propriétaire du bien au prorata.

No, a condominium is not a timeshare. With OWN18, you are a co-owner, i.e. a true owner in a shared purchase.

This means that 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 over it, and can use it in proportion to your invested share.

We take care of coordinating the co-owners and managing the property for you.

Some OWN18 properties can be rented out as second homes, to generate rental income.

As with all properties, you must be authorized to rent the property (seasonal rental license). And in all cases, you benefit from any potential added value of your investment.

Firstly, all OWN18 homes are located in areas with good infrastructure and a great season.
Secondly, OWN18 matches owners with compatible needs. For example, families with school-age children from different regions (so that they don’t have the same school vacation periods) are matched with childless couples, or families with adult offspring.
Finally, the OWN18 app lets you book your stay at any time – from two days to two years in advance.
On arrival, your belongings will be taken out of storage and the fridge will be stocked on request.

After 1 year, you are free to sell your share at any time. You can either sell it to someone in your network, or we can help you find a buyer. One of the other co-owners may even want to take over your share, which is even simpler.

And in all cases, we offer a buy-back guarantee.

The share purchase price includes the following fees:

• Your share of the cost of ownership, according to the proportion you have chosen (1/8, 2/8, 3/8 or 4/8)
• Ancillary purchase costs (real estate transfer tax, legal fees, legal structure)
• Expert examination of the property
• Legal examination of the property
• Set-up of legal and tax structure
• Consulting fees, if any
• Renovation and modernization, including high-end furniture, fittings and equipment

Yes, your home is equipped with storage space for your personal belongings.

Running costs, maintenance, insurance, property taxes…
The co-owners share these costs equally and set aside a little more each month in a reserve fund. OWN18 takes care of all these payments for you.

When you divide the costs into 8, you save a lot more for your vacation!

We believe that owners treat their second homes with care, but no one is immune to accidents. We’re here to help if anything happens during your stay, and we inspect every home at the end of every stay.

Any damage beyond normal wear and tear will be charged to the owner responsible.

We fit out the vacation home to OWN18 standards before you start enjoying it. We’re passionate about design, and work with professional European interior designers who focus on combining comfort and aesthetics to suit the home.

Every OWN18 home is unique!

OWN18 has worked with leading law and tax firms to develop an optimized structure for owning and managing vacation properties in Europe. This structure avoids typical pitfalls.

We would be happy to explain the details to you in a personal consultation.

Absolutely yes! Do you love your vacation home, but don’t use it enough to keep up with the costs and expenses?
OWN18 can arrange the partial sale of your property so that you retain ownership, but free up capital and enjoy five-star OWN18 service, hassle-free!

Yes, although many customers buy without credit. You can finance the purchase through your bank, or through your company if the set-up is suitable. OWN18 can advise you on your options.

Each property is chosen for its location, its rental potential, its charm, its asset value… and above all its suitability for seamless shared use. Nothing is left to chance.

Yes, from 12 months. You can resell it freely, to a third party or to another co-owner, with an increase in value depending on the market. OWN18 can also buy back your share under certain conditions.

You can rent out your weeks, give them away or exchange them with others. OWN18 offers support if you want to make the most of them.
