Full sale or partial sale of your property
Two ways to sell a property:
Full sale: ownership is transferred in a single transaction
Partial sale: ownership is divided into shares and sold over time
The models differ in structure, timing, and retained ownership.
Full sale
In a full sale, ownership of the property is transferred in a single transaction.
The process is initiated through a conditional purchase agreement.
An agreed price is defined upfront, and we obtain the right to acquire the property within a specified period, typically 3–9 months.
During this period, the property is prepared for resale as a move-in-ready second home.
This may include:
- Upgrades and improvements
- Furnishing and interior setup
- Legal and tax structuring
- Advisory and buyer preparation
The property is therefore not sold “as-is” in a traditional transaction.
This requires alignment with the seller regarding the property’s potential, condition, and positioning before execution.
The preparation phase may extend the timeline compared to a standard sale.
However, it allows the property to be positioned and sold as a completed product.
After completion:
- Ownership is transferred entirely to the buyer
- You no longer retain any ownership or usage rights
You are not involved in the resale process.
All preparation, positioning, and execution are handled within the structure.
Partial Sale
In a partial sale, ownership of the property is divided into a limited number of shares.
Typically, the property is structured into up to 8 shares.
Buyers may acquire one or multiple shares, meaning the total number of owners is often fewer.
Ownership can be structured in two ways:
- Direct ownership on the title (deed)
- Ownership through a newly established SPV (company), which becomes the legal owner
In both cases, the transaction is completed through a coordinated process with the notary.
You do not interact with individual buyers.
All legal structuring and coordination are handled by GHB’s legal partner on behalf of the buyer group.
Before sale, the property is prepared and positioned as a move-in-ready second home, similar to the full sale model.
This may include:
- Upgrades and improvements
- Furnishing and interior setup
- Legal and ownership structuring
Shares are then offered to buyers within this defined structure.
After completion:
- You retain a defined ownership share
- Ownership is shared with a limited number of co-owners
- Usage rights are allocated based on ownership
The structure defines how the property is used, maintained, and managed over time.
How the property is brought to market
When a property is prepared for sale, it is introduced to the market through multiple channels.
The approach differs depending on whether the property is sold as a full unit or as a co-ownership structure.
Channels used
- Existing buyer network focused on co-ownership
- Agent network across relevant markets
- Affiliate partners and distribution channels
- Own platforms, including website and social media
- International property portals
For co-ownership, the property is marketed as a structured offering rather than a traditional listing.

What Owners Ask Before They Sell
No. Exclusivity is not required.
However, in many cases it is beneficial to agree on a structured collaboration. This ensures alignment on pricing, positioning, and process, and avoids conflicting communication in the market.
No.
All buyers enter into the same co-ownership agreement, where rights, usage, and responsibilities are clearly defined. The structure does not require personal relationships between owners.
Up to 8 buyers per property.
In practice, there are often fewer, as some buyers choose to acquire more than one share.
The seller appoints their own legal advisor.
Global Homebase represents the buyers and coordinates the transaction on their side, including structuring and documentation.
All buyers are consolidated into one process, and the transaction is completed at the notary. The seller does not need to engage with each individual buyer.
No.
In most cases, the property is prepared as a move-in-ready second home. This may include upgrades, furnishing, and structuring before resale to buyers.
Yes.
Compared to a traditional sale, the process may take longer due to structuring, preparation, and buyer coordination. However, it can also lead to a different pricing outcome.
The price is defined as part of the initial agreement.
For full sales, a conditional purchase agreement may be used, where a fixed price is agreed in advance. For partial sales, pricing is structured based on share value and total property positioning.
This depends on the model.
- In a full sale, ownership is fully transferred and the seller exits
- In a partial sale, the seller retains a defined ownership share under the co-ownership structure
All ownership rights and obligations are defined in the legal agreements.
