Fractional ownership is a way of dividing any asset into shares. In the case of property, the title or deed can be legally divided into shares.

Shares can be purchased and owned by more than one individual. The reason for this can vary. The two main reasons are to allow transfer of shares without the need to make changes on the deeds of the property, and for tax benefits.

Shared ownership of a property entitles shareholders to usage rights, in the form of weeks. Fractional Ownership is not the same as Timeshare.

Fractional Ownership gives much of the freedom and benefits offered in timeshare, but the big fundamental difference with fractional ownership is that the purchaser owns part of the title (as opposed to just units of “time”). Therefore, as the property appreciates in value, then so do the shares. As with owning a whole property, fractional owners can sell whenever they want to, and releasing the capital growth from their investment.
