Multiproperty is gaining ground in the Brazilian tourism and real estate market, offering a new way to experience high-standard experiences more economically.
According to the report Multiproperty Development Scenario in Brazil 2024, the sector moved an impressive R$ 61.9 billion in potential VGV, with a 14% growth in the average value of fractions compared to the previous year.
This model primarily attracts families who wish to travel every year with comfort, without the costs and obligations of maintaining a traditional vacation property.
If you're not yet familiar with this concept or have doubts about how it works in practice, read on and discover how multiproperty can transform your family's vacations.
## What is multiproperty?
Multiproperty is a real estate acquisition model in which several people share the ownership of the same property, each with the right to use it for a specific period of the year.
It is a real property right, registered at a notary, that guarantees the buyer exclusive possession of the property during their allocated time.
This system is different from renting or booking hotels: by purchasing a fraction, the owner effectively has a legal part of the property and can use it annually, according to the rules established in the contract.
With this, multiproperty has become an attractive option for those seeking frequent accommodation in high-standard locations, like resorts, without bearing the total cost of acquiring and maintaining a vacation property.
## How does multiproperty work?
In multiproperty, the property is shared among several owners, each with specific usage rights throughout the year. The division follows well-defined rules, ensuring exclusive and organized use for each owner. See below how this structure works in practice.
### Purchase of a property fraction
When acquiring a multiproperty, one buys an ideal fraction of the property — for example, 1/26, which corresponds to two weeks of use per year.
This fraction is a real right, registered at a notary, which guarantees the buyer legal security and ownership of the unit during the contracted period.
### Exclusive use during the contracted period
Although the property is shared among different owners, the use is not simultaneous. Each owner has exclusive access to the property during their usage period. In other words, when it's your turn, the property is entirely at your disposal — as if it were solely yours.
### Priority in selling the share to other owners
If an owner wishes to sell their fraction, the other shareholders have the so-called preemptive right. This means you and the other owners can purchase the share before it is offered to the external public.
In this way, it is possible to extend the enjoyment period of the property if there is interest.
### Expenses shared among owners
All costs related to the property's maintenance — such as cleaning, conservation, property taxes, condominium fees, and services — are proportionally shared among the shareholders. This makes the investment lighter and more predictable, with no surprises in the budget.
### Management by a specialized company
The management of the multiproperty is handled by a professional administrator, usually linked to the resort itself or a hotel operator. This company takes care of the entire operation: usage calendar, maintenance, service, and quality of experience.
This ensures that everything is always ready when the owner enjoys their time at the property.
## What is the difference between multiproperty and time-sharing?
Although multiproperty and time-sharing involve shared use of properties for specific periods, they are not the same thing. The main difference lies in the legal nature.
In multiproperty, the buyer acquires a real property right, registered at a notary. This means they are, in fact, co-owners of the property and can sell, transfer, or leave their fraction as inheritance.
Whereas in time-sharing, the buyer acquires only the right to temporary use, with no ownership link to the asset. The model is more akin to a use or service subscription.
Another difference lies in the form of management and contractual transparency.
Multiproperty is regulated by Law No. 13.777/2018, which brought more security and predictability to the market. Time-sharing, common in previous decades, faced criticism for unclear business practices and less advantageous contracts.
Finally, while multiproperty is commonly associated with high-standard resorts and valuable experiences, time-sharing tends to be more commercial-focused and less property-oriented.
## What are the benefits of multiproperty?
Opting for this model is an intelligent way to combine comfort, economy, and practicality in vacations. Check out the main benefits of multiproperty.
### Saving money to travel every year
With multiproperty, you ensure annual accommodation in a high-standard property for a much lower price than needed to buy an entire property or pay for separate accommodations of the same category.
### Resort structure with lower investment
Instead of investing in a vacation apartment with limited infrastructure, the owner enjoys complete resort facilities — with leisure, gastronomy, services, and security — paying only for the fraction they actually use.
### Peacefully planned travel
The usage calendar allows for planning, avoiding the rush to find accommodations on special dates. It is possible to organize trips more calmly, knowing exactly when the property will be available.
### Costs divided among owners
Maintenance, conservation, and administration expenses are shared among shareholders. This makes the cost of owning a vacation property much more accessible, without sacrificing quality.
### Exchange opportunities
Vacation homeowners have the possibility to exchange weeks of stays for other options around the world. Costao Estaleirinho is a partner of RCI (Resort Condominiums International), the largest and most important vacation exchange network in the world.
## Is multiproperty worth it?
Multiproperty is worth it for those who wish to combine comfort, planning, and savings while traveling. This model allows for enjoying a complete structure, like that of a resort, without being subject to the price fluctuations of accommodations or bearing the high costs of acquiring and maintaining a vacation property alone.
Furthermore, the system guarantees exclusive use during a set period of the year, making the experience more personalized and enjoyable.
With shared expenses and management handled by specialized professionals, the owner doesn't need to worry about operational or bureaucratic matters.
Another positive aspect is predictability: the annual calendar provides security when planning trips. Additionally, there is the potential for the share's value to appreciate over time, especially in emerging tourist destinations.
For those who value consistent experiences, want to avoid high costs of seasonal accommodations, and are looking for a safe and practical alternative for recurring vacations, multiproperty is an intelligent choice.
