What is Fractional Ownership?

Fractional ownership is fast becoming acknowledged as the logical and financially astute way of owning and investing in high-end real estate.

The principle is simple - it's the sharing of single or multiple assets. As a holiday home is typically used only a few weeks a year, it is the perfect way to invest in and enjoy luxury overseas property.

However with The Hideaways Club you own a share in ALL the properties in the portfolio, and can use any of them throughout the year.  This means your investment is spread across a diversified portfolio in a broad selection of markets, and you have a wide and varied choice of where and when to holiday.

FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP IS NOT TIMESHARE

What differentiates The Hideaways Club from the timeshare industry is the element of true ownership. With us you are investing in an entire portfolio of properties - in bricks and mortar - and as the value of the portfolio goes up, so does the value of your share.

All Hideaways Club properties are owned 100% by the members. With timeshare you merely have the right to use a property for a specified amount of time, you don't own the underlying asset.

In short - timeshare is an expense; fractional ownership is an asset.

John Lovering (Chairman of Debenhams) says: 'Fractional ownership eliminates the downside of sole ownership, while members benefit from the capital growth in the value of the entire portfolio and at the same time enjoy relaxing holidays in amazing locations, all organised by the Club's local concierge. This is proving to be a very attractive proposition to a growing number of people.'
