For buyers
When you purchase shares in a property, you obtain a portion of ownership in the property company that is registered as the owner in the land register. This means that as a shareholder, you also become a proportionate property owner.
You have the freedom to sell your share whenever you want. If you decide to do so, we are here to assist you in finding a new buyer. It is also possible that one of the other co-owners may be interested in purchasing your share directly. We will work with you to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
No worries, you won't have to coordinate directly with the other co-owners because beyoul has got you covered! We handle all of the administrative tasks, which includes coordinating with all of the other beyoul co-owners. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy your property without any added stress.
To schedule your stay, simply use the scheduling system on the beyoul app. The system is user-friendly and fair to owners, as the number of shares you own determines your booking options. Each share equals 44 credits, and the number of credits required for booking varies depending on the season; low season days require 05 credits while high season days require 2. On average, owners stay at their homes about 6-7 times per year, depending on their individual travel preferences.
As a beyoul co-owner, you will participate proportionally to your share in the property's capital gains.
It's not a timeshare. With beyoul, you have the opportunity to acquire real estate property through a co-ownership. Essentially, you become a shareholder in a property company that owns a specific property. This means that you can dispose of the property accordingly and use it proportionally. The best part is that beyoul takes care of all the coordination between the co-owners as well as the management of the property.

You can buy up to 3/8 shares of a beyoul holiday home.
The purchasing process for a beyoul holiday home follows the standard procedures for property transactions in Switzerland. The home will be purchased by a locally incorporated company, which is a common practice. The only difference in this case is that there will be multiple co-owners.
Shared property ownership is not a novel idea as many individuals have attempted DIY arrangements in the past. However, beyoul offers a comprehensive management and ownership service that connects individuals with similar interests and eliminates the difficulties, both in terms of relationships and finances, that often arise when setting up and handling DIY co-ownership.
Our team of interior designers possesses the keen ability to transform every home into a stunning and contemporary "beyoul" living space, infused with regional charm.
As a co-owner of the holiday home, you will be responsible for a share of the running costs based on the number of shares you own. We take a tightly controlled approach to managing cleaning and maintenance costs and pass them on to co-owners without any added fees. A small monthly fee per share covers the cost of managing the company exclusively for your holiday home and providing you with the necessary support and technology to fully enjoy your ownership.

For seller
Thanks to the beyoul service, we can transfer the ownership of your home to a newly established company. You have the option to keep up to 3 shares, which will enable you to enjoy all the benefits of owning a vacation property while also sharing the responsibilities and costs. This can be a perfect solution for those looking to ease the financial burden or diversify their investments.
Once the selling agreement is closed, you can take a break and let us take care of everything. Our team will handle any necessary repairs and design adjustments while creating the required marketing materials. You will still have access to your holiday home, and our scheduling system makes it convenient for you to book your desired days. The number of shares you decide to keep will determine the number of days you are allocated. Relax and enjoy your home away from home, hassle-free.
No. But there may be some transparent administrative charges
Our buyers are typically individuals who share similar interests as second homeowners, much like yourself. We have an increasing number of people seeking co-ownership opportunities in various regions. Once we identify a property that meets our high beyoul standards, we actively advertise it through multiple channels and engage with our database of potential co-owners.
We have a team of skilled interior designers who specialize in redecorating your secondary residence in the beyoul style. Our objective is to design a stunning and cozy living area that embodies sophistication and elegance. If you have any decor items that match our beyoul design standards, we are willing to buy them and integrate them into the new decor. Our top priority is to offer top-notch service and guarantee complete customer satisfaction for all co-owners.
If you are contemplating selling your share of the property, kindly note that there is a mandatory waiting period of one year before you can proceed with the sale. Furthermore, your co-owners have the primary right of refusal, which implies that they have the chance to buy your shares before any external parties. Nevertheless, our team is always here to support you with our list of potential co-owners who are waiting to purchase a share.
