Seeff Fractional Ownership Profile

At the forefront of fractional ownership in South Africa for the past four years, Seeff Fractional Ownership has not only helped South Africans spend on glorious home-grown getaways, but also paved the way for jet-set holidays – all in the name of investment, says Henry Greyling, owner and CEO of Seeff Fractional Ownership.

Fractional Ownership allows an investor to buy one 13th (or one 26th depending on the estate) of a property, entitling them to enjoy holidays in a variety of formats, as well as accrue the capital appreciation of the property. This way an investor gets to enjoy 4 (or 2) weeks holiday time per year, all the while knowing that the property is increasing in capital growth. Unlike time-share, fractional ownership provides the advantage of owning your ‘brick and mortar’ and reaping the benefits thereof.

However, Seeff Fractional Ownership not only provides this fantastic service of owning a luxury villa/apartment, we also ensure that your villa is contractually managed. Many South Africans have been burdened by the responsibilities of owning a holiday home – year-round maintenance, rates and day-to-day expenses plus high interest rates all in the name of a few weeks of leisure. Fractional ownership offers the pleasures without these disadvantages – for example, a stake in a four-bedroomed villa with four bathrooms, a private heated pool, a gazebo and a golf cart. Owners can enjoy the luxuries of the villa as well as make use of gyms, restaurants and wellness spas on various estates. Alpha Villa Management will ensure that your home is serviced and your garden is pruned, in order for you to sit back and relax, without having to worry about the upkeep of your property.

Yet, fractional ownership of a villa/apartment is not reserved for the wealthy or restricted to prosperous times. As Greyling puts it, ‘fractional ownership gives you far more than a foot in the luxury holiday door. Over and about the option to have holidays when others cannot, with our partnership with Platinum Destinations, you also have the option to choose between relaxing in South Africa or a magnificent villa/apartment overseas.’

All our properties are registered in the name of a company (with owners, owning shares in the property) which has 13, 26, or 52 shareholders. Each share entitles the owner to a designated number of weeks per year use of the villa, lodge or apartment. With a rotational roster in place, every shareholder is ensured of spending every week of the year in his holiday home, which means that all shareholders have a fair share of high and low season vacations.

Seeff Fractional Ownership are passionate about bringing luxury holiday villas to our clients, with the sound knowledge that Seeff Fractional Ownership will manage and maintain the villa. With this said, explore our properties worldwide and indulge in what Seeff Fractional Ownership can offer you.
