All you need to know about co-ownership
August takes away the hard work for co-owners, by purchasing, decorating, furnishing, and managing the homes. The team works tirelessly to create an authentic and welcoming vibe, ensuring the shared owners feel proud to call the properties their own.
Each collection is composed of 21 shares and 5 properties. As a co-owner, you can own 1 or more shares depending on your needs.The access to each residence is split equally between the group via an app-based ‘points’ system, guaranteeing an average of 12 weeks a year – often more depending on when you choose to travel.
“It doesn’t make sense to own 100% of an asset when only using it 10% of the time,” says August Founders Mélie and Nico.” By becoming a co-owners you own a ready-made diversified real estate portfolio with properties in world-renowned locations.
When you own homes with August, you don’t have to choose a single holiday destination. Instead, you have five sought-after locations to choose from, and access to a range of activities, from snorkeling to tobogganing. But equally, with some homes having their own pool and large private grounds, you can just laze by the water if you prefer.
When you contribute your ‘share’, it’s a significantly lower cost than buying a comparable property outright. All the maintenance, insurance, and repairs are all covered by your monthly fee, so you don’t have to deal with the hassles that typically come with home ownership abroad. You can invite as many people as each home holds. Add-on services are also provided, including grocery shopping before you arrive, additional cleaning, a nanny service, a chef, and airport transfer.
