Fractional Ownership

Fractional ownership refers to the division of an asset, like property, into shares. In the case of property the deed can be divided into shares by the creation of a company which owns the property. This allows more than one investor to own shares in the company and in the property. Choosing fractional ownership as an investment has some advantages over traditional property investments like being allowed to transfer shares without making changes to the title deed, various tax benefits and the relatively low minimum amount needed to invest in this type of property.

In addition to fractional ownership being a straight forward investment it also allows shareholders to certain usage rights. While this can be compared to timeshare the crucial difference is that the shareholder owns part of the title as opposed to only owning units of time. Fractional owners also have the right to sell their portion of the property at any time giving this form of investment a considerable amount of flexibility.

Fractional ownership is becoming increasingly popular in South Africa especially in secure up market golf estates. Listed below are just a handful of fractional ownership opportunities in South Africa. Most minimum investments start at around R200,000 making it an affordable investment choice for many investors.
