Co-ownership

Co-ownership consists of gathering investors to enable them to acquire together an existing and already rented yield building.

How it works

Rigorous property selection

Our investment team searches for attractive income-generating properties throughout Switzerland. Each property is carefully vetted by conducting a meticulous due diligence process, backed by independent legal, financial, and technical expertise.

Our strict selection criteria include:

Location with high rental demand
Acquisition at fair market value
Rental property with good income prospects
Projectable renovation requirements

We provide you with the analysis and insights needed to confidently make informed investment decisions.

Seamless acquisition process

Once a property meets our rigorous standards, Foxstone handles all administrative tasks, including mortgage negotiation at the best terms, notary procedures, and coordination with co-owners to complete the acquisition of the rental property.

As an investor, you purchase a fraction of a building which is registered in your name in the land registry.

Simplified property management

The day-to-day management is delegated to a trusted property manager, handling rent collection, maintenance, and tenant management.

As the asset manager and co-ownership administrator, Foxstone ensures your investment is managed efficiently and takes strategic decisions to optimize the value of your rental property. Co-owners can vote during an annual online general assembly.

Consistent Income Distribution

Receive quarterly net rental income directly to your bank account, with all expenses already deducted (building costs, mortgage interest, property management, insurance).

A detailed financial report provides you with full details of your property's income and expenses. You can track your investment’s performance anytime on your online dashboard. You only have to take care to fill your tax return with information that Foxstone is providing you.

How to become a co-owner of a rental property?

Request the investment documentation

Select an income-generating property that meets your investment criteria by looking at a complete data room which includes:

Detailed description of the property
Analysis from our investment team
Full financial plan
Independant valuation
Technical due diligence

Fill the documentation

Complete and sign the following documents:

The subscription form
Power of attorney to purchase the property
The accreditation form for the mortgage provider (KYC)

Book a digital meeting with the notary
Send us back the signed documents

Documents validation

Foxstone takes care of all the formalities with the mortgage provider, from the negotiation of the mortgage to the validation of your credit application..

On average, 40% of each property is financed by the co-owners' equity and 60% by a mortgage. For example, with an investment of CHF 50,000 (40%), you hold a building fraction of CHF 125,000 (100%).

Each co-owner therefore holds part of the mortgage, and the special feature of our model is that the mortgage debt is divided between the individual co-owners.

Become a proud Co-owner

Transfer the funds to the escrow account of the notary in charge of the transaction. Once we have collected all the funds, we proceed with the acquisition of the property on your behalf in front of the notary.

Congratulations! You are now the co-owner of a property with your name listed in the land register. You will receive your first quarterly payment at the end of the first full quarter.

People are saying

A year ago, I came across an article in the Tribune de Genève, which presented the concept and advantages of real estate crowdfunding and mentioned Foxstone. I found it very interesting, so I contacted Foxstone directly for more information.
