Timeshare Conquers Luxury By SeoSecretService 12/05/2022 596 Views The voice of Galicia Subscribe for €1 Sarah Cabrero MARKETS The real estate startup Pacaso lands in Spain offering a model that allows eight completely unknown people to buy a million-euro house in equal parts 30 Jan 2022 . Updated at 4:14 a.m. WhatsappMailFacebookTwitter Comment · Owning a luxury home, located in one of the most exclusive areas of the country and valued at a good handful of millions of euros, is possible only by having to pay a few hundred thousand. How? Through a revolutionary review of the timeshare concept. Without going into details and told like this, many may think that this is impossible. To many others it will sound like a rather non-transparent business. But pulling an example can always help put the imagination to work. A villa located in one of the most select areas of any listed city in a country, equipped with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and more than 400 square meters built together with a garden and views that are the delight of anyone. Its price? Only suitable for very, very well-equipped pockets: just over three million euros. But there are those who still have some modesty in shelling out a few million to enjoy such exclusive luxury only on vacation. For these people with possibilities —because even with the discount that the invention brings, let's be frank, it is not suitable for all pockets— the service offered by the Pacaso company is designed. This company has revolutionized the timeshare system focusing it on the high standing market. The operation is much simpler than it seems. Pacaso buys a house and puts it up for sale. From there, the property is divided into eight exactly equal parts and each of the owners - who do not have to know each other - pays an amount of between 250,000 (224,000 euros) and one million (897,527 euros) for taking over one of those little pieces of housing. The maximum number of luxury housemates is eight and the minimum two, and between those two numbers, any possibility can be used. In order to carry out this operation legally and without possible fissures, Pacaso created a limited liability company made up of the new landlords. Through it, the corresponding taxes are paid, as well as the maintenance tasks required by the property. And once the sale is made and this new structure of several landlords is formed, all of them must assume a series of basic rules. The first is that each of the eight owners will have the right to enjoy the house for 44 days a year, with a maximum of fourteen consecutive days. There are also some limitations when it comes to holidays, because you can only choose a special day (among which are Christmas, national holidays or, in the case of houses located in the United States, Thanksgiving). How do you decide who and when can go to your new vacation destination? Pacaso offers them an internal day selection or management system, in which each owner can reserve the exact dates on which he wants to enjoy his little piece of home. What's more, this application allows them to plan their future stays up to 24 months in advance. With all these wicks, many are sure to be thinking about the endless similarities between this and, for example, Airbnb. And yes, indeed, the big difference between one and the other is that in the second it is only rented while in the first the consumer owns the place of destination. Pacaso's relationship does not stop at the mere fact of the acquisition and subsequent sale of the home. It has a lot to say by the way. He is in charge, first, of buying the luxury house, of conditioning it completely with furniture and other works that it requires and of solving all the cumbersome procedures that this model requires. And when the landlords begin to enjoy their new property —paid by the bucketful, as one would say in the most popular jargon— Pacaso will charge them a monthly fee of 199 euros for the services it will provide from then on. Exactly, as detailed from this company, they include a concierge service, mediation of conflicts between the owners (because, eight complete strangers sharing something as delicate as a house can always be the result of disagreements) and other interesting options such as organization of private dinners, restaurant reservation management or a supermarket shopping service to have the fridge and pantry ready when the owners land at their vacation spot. Pacaso is already triumphing in the United States, where he has started his experiment with great success but also with controversy. Because in some of the areas where they have begun to expand, the more traditional inhabitants have criticized that it could drag the rest of the houses with them, causing a rise in prices. They turn this review around. They ensure that they are more efficient by providing more use to second homes, which instead of remaining empty for almost eleven months of the year, start to have tenants for a longer time, which contributes to improving the local economy. arrive in Spain We will be able to know directly the effect that this startup will have, because Pacaso has decided to make the leap from its first market (USA) and has chosen Spain as the first country in which to settle after having jumped into the pond. They will try their luck in areas like Ibiza or Mallorca to later put a pike in places like the United Kingdom. If you attend only to your own numbers, the experiment is really successful. Pacaso has reached a valuation of 1,500 million in just five months (which allows it to reach the category of unicorn, the name by which those who reach a valuation of more than 1,000 million without being listed on the stock market are known) and, despite having been born in 2020, his name is already well known (and greedy) for investors.
