How to own a holiday home in Europe without the full price tag

Owning a high-end European holiday home is a dream for many, but the costs and responsibilities of full ownership can be daunting. Lazazu offers a smarter solution: fractional co-ownership, allowing you to enjoy a luxury holiday home at a fraction of the cost. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at who Lazazu is, how co-ownership works, the benefits of fractional ownership, and who should consider it.

Who is Lazazu?

Lazazu makes it easy to buy, co-own, and enjoy a fully managed second home in Europe. Rather than purchasing an entire property, you can own a share of a high-end holiday home at a fraction of the cost and use the home in proportion to your share ownership. Lazazu takes care of everything, from day-to-day operations and cleaning, to maintenance and legal compliance, so you can enjoy your holiday home completely stress-free.

For example, owning 12.5% of a €1.5 million villa allows you to stay in the property for over six weeks throughout different seasons of the year without worrying about repairs, management, or upkeep. With Lazazu, luxury holidays become accessible, effortless, and flexible, and you can return to a place, time and time again, that you can truly call home.

How does co-ownership with Lazazu work?

Owning a luxury holiday home with Lazazu is simple and flexible. Here is how it works:

Buy a share: Purchase a share of a high-end holiday home, such as a ⅛ or ¼ share. Each 1/8 share gives you 45 nights of exclusive and flexible use per year.

Share the costs: All expenses, including utilities, maintenance, insurance, and management fees, are split pro-rata between co-owners, making second homeownership sustainable and financially sensible. 

Fully managed: Lazazu handles everything for you, from cleaning, maintenance, and repairs to insurance and legal compliance, so you can enjoy your holiday home hassle-free.

Schedule your stays: Plan your stays using Lazazu’s intuitive and flexible booking system, designed to ensure fair and equitable access for all co-owners.

Frequent travelers: Those who want the benefits of a second home but don’t want to manage upkeep or pay the full purchase cost.

Smart and sensible owners: Those looking for an efficient and sustainable way to own a second home, paying only for what they actually use.
