Single family fractional homes are most commonly sold in 1/4 or 1/6 shares, but other fraction sizes are also available. The idea of sharing a vacation home has been around for a long, long time with friends and relatives getting together to buy a home amongst themselves.
More recently, companies have evolved which will set up and run the homes for groups of buyers. These companies will take care of all the aspects of running, maintaining and repairing the home, so that the homeowners can simply enjoy relaxing vacations.
If you're looking into buying a fractional home, there are some really good areas to cover in this guide here - much of it from a legal perspective but a lot of other thoughts too. This article covers the reasons people buy fractionals or their more expensive cousins private residence clubs.
Our fractional glossary will get you up to speed on many of the terms you'll come across.
