MARE Share living

Yes! You have a key and are officially a co-owner in a shared purchase (also known as 'fractional ownership'). A registered company is listed as the owner of the property in the land registry, and you are purchasing shares in this company. With this purchase, you become a shareholder and thus officially a pro-rata owner of the property.

Co-ownership through MARE is not a timeshare. With MARE, you are a true owner in a joint purchase, which means you are a shareholder in a registered company that owns a specific property.

As a shareholder, you have access to the property, daily control, and the regulations, and you can use it in proportion to your invested share. MARE also handles the coordination between the co-owners and the management of the property.

All fixed costs are made very transparent and are divided by the number of owners. The number of owners is matched to the size of your shared home, both in terms of quantity and profile.

Example: The fixed costs for a large villa are €20,000 per year. If there are 10 owners, each owner pays €138.90 per month. This contribution goes into a shared maintenance fund, which is used to pay for these costs. If you were the sole owner, the costs would have been €1,389 per month.

Depending on the project and in agreement with the owners, renting out rooms can also be arranged. The rental income is initially used to offset these shared fixed costs. For instance, if €20,000 in rental income is generated annually, you as an owner will not pay any fixed costs (this amount will be refunded to you at the end of the year).

In practice, fixed costs are often offset by income, meaning you either pay nothing or even receive rental income on your share.

No, you don't need to worry about coordinating with the other co-owners. That's the beauty of our concept. Of course, you know who the other owners are, but you don't necessarily have direct contact with them, because we handle all the coordination and administration completely.

The advantage of our large properties is that multiple people can stay there at the same time in complete privacy. This makes it almost impossible for the property to be fully booked. Compare it to a luxury resort or hotel—other people might be there, but everyone can enjoy their holiday in peace.

MARE acts as your central point of contact and arranges everything: from the management and maintenance of the property to the scheduling of reservations via our website. This way, you can focus exclusively on enjoying your holiday, without the stress or hassle of consulting with others. You arrive, relax, and enjoy. We'll take care of the rest.

The Share Purchase Price is an all-inclusive price that covers all costs upfront, so you won't be surprised by hidden fees later on. This price is made up of the following components:

Your Share of the Property: This is the portion of the home's purchase price that corresponds to the share you have chosen.

Additional Purchase Costs: This includes transfer tax and notary fees, as well as the costs for the legal structure.

Due Diligence: We ensure a thorough structural and legal inspection of the property so you can be confident in your purchase.

Legal and Fiscal Structure: The costs for setting up the shared purchase agreement and the associated legal and fiscal structure are included.

Advisory Fees: All costs for the advisory services needed to guide the purchase are covered.

Renovation and Mare-Upgrade: Where necessary, we carry out renovations and upgrade the property to a very high standard.

Interior Design and Furnishing: The price also covers the costs for professional interior design, including high-quality furniture, fixed installations, and loose furnishings.

Complete Equipment: Finally, the home is fully equipped with high-quality household appliances, dinnerware, and other necessities.

Not included:

• Any personal costs for an advisor.

• The operational and service costs that are shared with other co-owners, which in most cases will be between 8%-12% of what you would pay for a completely private home.

As a co-owner at MARE, you will benefit from any increase in the property's value, in proportion to your share. Additionally, for some properties, it is possible to rent them out at the request of the co-owners, allowing you to generate extra rental income. This can vary by property, and we will make sure to state this clearly.

MARE has partnered with renowned tax and law firms to develop a structure optimized for the ownership and management of holiday homes, both domestically and abroad. This structure helps to avoid typical pitfalls. We would be happy to personally explain the details to you in an individual consultation. It is, of course, always a good idea and highly recommended to have your own advisor review your specific situation.

You can reserve your stay at any time, either by contacting Tamara directly or by using the available calendar—whether it's a spontaneous booking two days before arrival or up to 18 months in advance.

Additionally, when you arrive, your personal belongings will have been retrieved from storage, and the fridge can be stocked upon request.

Wanneer u besluit uw aandeel in de woning te verkopen, kunt u dit op elk moment doen na een initiële periode van 12 maanden. We begrijpen dat omstandigheden kunnen veranderen en we hebben het proces zo eenvoudig mogelijk gemaakt.

We would be happy to help you find a suitable buyer and offer several options:

Sale to an external party: We will actively support you in the sale by offering your share to potential buyers through our network (we also regularly have a waiting list). (Our commission is 4%-5%)

Sale to co-owners: It is possible that one of the current co-owners may be interested in taking over your share, which can make the sale quick and smooth.

Private sale: You find a buyer yourself and arrange the transfer with the notary (costs are approximately €800), which are generally for the seller.

Our goal is to streamline this process for you, so the transfer of your share is efficient and carefree.

Yes. We partner with various banks to offer favorable financing options for many of our properties. We understand that purchasing a holiday home is a significant investment and we want to make this process as accessible as possible.

Depending on the specific property and your personal financial situation, we can connect you with partners who offer specialized financing that aligns with the concept of co-ownership. This way, you can make your dream home a reality with the right financial support.

Yes, you can. You can purchase up to 30% of the shares.

Basic Rules for Your Stay

You can essentially have as much vacation as you want, based on these fundamental rules:

• One share gives you the right to a standard 45-day stay, divided into a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 periods.

• Two shares give you the right to a 95-day stay, divided into 1 to 12 periods.

The specific rules for each project will be set in agreement with you, the owners, so the following are just guidelines.

The maximum continuous stay is generally 90 days. If you want to stay longer and there is enough availability, only service costs will be charged: €150 per stay and €12 per person per night. These proceeds will be added to your house's management fund.

Renting and Income

You are also welcome to rent out your own home to friends or family. If this falls within your own available period, it is naturally included (and you are free to charge them rent yourself).

For stays outside your available rental period, friends and family can make reservations and will receive a 35% discount on the regular rental price. (This is of course subject to availability, and the details will be discussed with you, the owners, for each specific project).

All rental income goes into the 'household pot' and is first used for maintenance and fixed costs. Any profit is distributed among the owners on a pro-rata basis.

For friends and family rentals, there is a tourist tax of €4.40 per person per night.

Yes, of course.

Through our network, we arrange a suitable all-inclusive insurance policy. Wildfire, earthquake, flooding, burglary... The entire home and its interior are solidly insured. So no worries here either!
