We are a pioneer model in the sale of fractional properties. 

Imagine that you see a house that you like and you are given the possibility of acquiring only a portion of it at a more than attractive price. We’re sure that if you had the availability, you would take advantage of it and today we will talk about all that this opportunity represents for you. 

On the Internet you will find this instrument under different names, but today we will clear up all your doubts. 

Would you like to take a look at it? 

What is fractional ownership?

With fractional ownership you acquire only a part of a house so the rest of the house can be bought by other people.

Just as you read it, that property does not belong to only one owner, but several people are its owners in the eyes of the law. 

In this sense, one of the biggest confusions that this model usually generates is thinking that each owner owns a different room, but it’s quite the opposite. 

With this model the whole house is fractional, so in order to do certain things such as change the real estate, you will need the authorization of the other owners.  

Is it divisible or indivisible?

The fractional ownership gives you the possibility to sell it whenever you want.

Here the first thing to take into account is whether or not it is a divisible or indivisible property. 

The divisible ones are those that are divided among all equally. So, if it’s a marriage, each person would keep what he/she is supposed to, whether it’s a car, furniture, business, among other options. 

However, real estate assets are indivisible, they cannot be divided, so it’s much more complicated, but there are ways out of this complication. 

This is why we say that VIVLA’s fractional ownership is a better option for having a villa in the most exotic destinations in Spain, so you can enjoy it for six weeks a year without worrying about maintenance costs. 

Advantages of fractional ownership

Do you think fractional ownership is the option you were looking for? Discover some of the advantages and make the decision that fits your lifestyle best: 

1. Help for buying your home

Not everyone has the possibility of acquiring a mortgage because banks often set requirements that are difficult to meet. 

Thus, fractional ownership is a very interesting solution, although it obviously presents several limitations that you must take into account. Nevertheless, it’s better to own something than to own nothing. 

2. Benefits for both parties

If you think about it carefully, fractional ownership presents benefits for both parties. 

First, the buyer gets a deal where he acquires part of a property, so he won’t have to shell out large amounts of money. Sure, the decisions will be shared by everyone involved, but you know that no one will be able to take you off your roof. 

On the other hand, the lender greatly reduces the risk, since the amount to be paid is much lower and several parties have committed to assume the debt. 

3. Reduces maintenance costs

One of the headaches of every property owner is maintenance costs. Yes, it is true that having your own roof over your head is very advantageous, but there are a series of commitments that you will assume for life. 

One of them is the monthly costs, and it doesn’t matter if you live there or not, you will always have to pay electricity, water, internet and municipal taxes. 

Now, by sharing the property with another person you will also share the expenses that accumulate month by month. At the end of the day it’s a win-win situation for everyone involved. 

4. Greater profitability for investors

Believe it or not, buying 15 or 50% of a property is much more profitable than buying 100% because you acquire it for the same amount but you can sell it for a higher price. 

That’s why more and more investors have had their eye on this mechanism in recent times. They know that not everyone has the possibility to buy a house in the traditional way, so they assume the figure of fractional ownership among people who are committed to honor their payments.

5. Possibility to increase the shareholding

At the beginning you can buy a specific percentage, for example, 25% of the property. However, if in the future you have the money to increase your share you can buy more parts of the house. 

This will be calculated according to the value of the property, so if it increases the price will be higher, but if the market goes down, you will pay less money. 

Is it possible to buy a fractional property with financing? 

Yes, many banks grant mortgages to the fractional ownership mechanism, something that has come as a ringing endorsement for thousands of people who cannot buy a complete house. 

In this sense, the other owners will have to accept the terms of the credit, but they are not obliged to be holders of the loan, so they will not respond in their name at any time. 

However, if they reach a situation of non-payment and the bank is forced to foreclose, they will have to respond with their share of the house. 

Therefore, before purchasing your fractional ownership mortgage it is essential that you discuss it with the other owners, as you will put everyone in a commitment that will affect them equally in case there is a problem.

If you’ve read this far, you will surely think that fractional housing is the ideal option to buy your first home, but the truth is that it is a mechanism that offers advantages as well as disadvantages.

We love the fact that you can buy unique villas and mansions in some of the most exclusive destinations in Spain, having the possibility of acquiring from one eighth of the house to half a fraction of the property.
