Except for properties we have already purchased, the process starts with a small group of buyers - normally between 2 and 8 - with similar aspirations and motivations. Key preferences such as budget, location and expected usage are discussed before we present a shortlist of properties.

We then take care of everything for you - co-ordinating the purchase, instructing lawyers and setting up the ownership structure, the usage rights and the property management arrangements.

The fraction price shown on each listing on Sojourn8 includes all relevant taxes and fees but not any annual charges that may be payable when you complete your purchase. These will be shown separately as the 'monthly charge'.

This varies for each property. In some cases, your purchase can complete within 21 days. For properties where all the shares have to be sold first, completion may take several months. Please complete the Enquiry form for more information on the property you are interested in.

Yes, we can arrange viewings of any property you are interested in.

Just as the property must be a good fit for the owners, we also ensure that the owners' motivations and preferences align. A key part is the aggregation process - creating a group of owners with different usage requirements. This ensures they have an experience which is as close as possible to whole ownership.
