Buyer’s Q&A
Can COP help me sell my existing fractional ownership share?
Yes, where your share is with a company in our partner network — we list it on our selection alongside new inventory to extend its reach. For other companies, their own resale desk is the place to start.
The short answer: Yes, when your share is with one of our partners. We can list your share on our selection alongside new homes, putting it in front of our international buyer audience, while our partner's resale team handles the sale itself. Shares sell: hundreds of shares in homes like these have already been resold, in just over three months on average. If your share is with a company outside our network, its own resale team is the place to start — and we're happy to give you a second opinion.
How COP helps sell a partner share
When you own a share through one of our partners, we support the resale in three ways. First, we list your share on the COP selection alongside new homes, giving it exposure to our buyer audience. Second, we refer interested COP buyers straight to our partner's resale team. Third, we feature your home in our destination guides where relevant.
Our partner's resale team handles the legal documentation, buyer checks, transfer of the share and payment escrow. We add a powerful extra channel to find your buyer.
Shares outside our partner network
For shares with companies outside our network, that company's own resale team (or a broker who knows its process) is the right starting point, as we can't list those shares on our selection. We're always glad to share general advice on pricing and presenting your share.
How partner resale through COP typically works
| Step | Who handles it |
|---|---|
| Initial resale interest | Owner contacts COP or our partner directly |
| Share valuation | Our partner's resale team (standard process) |
| Listing on our partner's resale platform | Our partner |
| Listing on COP selection alongside new homes | COP |
| Buyer enquiries | Both channels — buyer enquiries from COP routed to our partner |
| Buyer checks and documentation | Our partner's resale team |
| Transfer of the share | Our partner's resale team |
| Payment and escrow | Our partner's resale team |
What it costs the seller
Our partner's standard resale commission applies (typically 3–6% of sale price). COP doesn't charge you anything extra for listing on our selection — our partner pays us their standard referral commission if a buyer we introduce completes the purchase, just as for new homes.
Where to start as a seller
Two paths.
If your share is with a COP partner: contact COP at info@co-ownership-property.com or via the selection contact form and mention you're an existing owner looking to sell. We'll connect you with the right resale process and talk through listing your share on COP.
If your share is with another company: contact its resale team first; most established companies have a clear resale process. We're happy to give a second opinion on pricing and presentation, without obligation.
What about selling independently?
Some owners sell through their own lawyer or a broker. It's possible, but the resale team's process is usually simpler: you get their buyer network, they handle the paperwork, and any first-refusal rights in the ownership agreement are taken care of along the way. For most owners, it's the easiest route even after commission.
Our role, clearly
We find buyers and put your share in front of them. For the legal side of the sale, use your own lawyer; valuations follow our partner's standard process; and we don't buy shares ourselves.
Where to find the selection
The COP selection includes both new and resale listings — buyers can browse both, and sellers can request a listing assessment for partner shares.
