FAQ

Question 1

How can I buy a holiday apartment in Germany without paying the full price?

Accepted Answer

Statistically, most vacation properties are only used by their owners for 8 to 10 weeks a year. Despite this, owners have had to bear all costs and maintenance expenses alone. MYNE changes this!

Four clear reasons speak for MYNE co-ownership:

01 | Your own dream vacation property for 1/8 of the cost. Prices for high-quality vacation properties in popular locations have risen steadily in recent years, as have the ongoing operating and maintenance costs. With MYNE co-ownership, 2-8 co-owners jointly own their dream vacation property and share the acquisition and maintenance costs according to their respective shares.

02 | Fair cost-benefit principle. Statistically, the typical vacation property is only used by the owners for about 8-10 weeks per year. A significant portion of the property remains empty for the rest of the year. This is neither good for your wallet, nor for the local communities, nor for the environment. Co-ownership offers a manageable share of property ownership, tailored to your needs in terms of usage and costs.
 
03 | Simply arrive and enjoy. The maintenance effort for vacation properties is significantly higher than for your primary residence due to geographical distance and often differing language, legal, and tax jurisdictions. This year-round maintenance effort is often disproportionate to the actual use of the property. MYNE takes care of all tasks related to the operation, management, and maintenance of the property for you – so you can simply arrive and enjoy!

04 | A proven principle. The principle of co-ownership is already established, for example, with yachts and private aircraft. Here, too, it has been shown that the high costs of acquisition and maintenance are disproportionate to typical usage, and therefore joint ownership represents a sensible alternative.

Question 2

With co-ownership in Germany, am I truly an owner?

Accepted Answer

In a share deal, you are an owner, meaning you acquire a share in the dedicated property company, which is registered in the land register as the owner of the property. With the purchase of this share, you become a partner in this property company and thus a partial owner of the property.

Question 3

How much does a share in a holiday property in Germany cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary depending on location, property size, features, and intended use. Compare available properties and request brochures with specific prices on the MYNE platform.

Question 4

How do I book my weeks?

Accepted Answer

We place great importance on ensuring that all MYNE co-owners can use their property equally and to the best of their ability, according to their own preferences.

This is ensured through the following approaches:

1. Properties for year-round use: All MYNE properties are located in regions that offer good infrastructure (shopping, restaurants, etc.) year-round. In addition, all properties are equipped for year-round use, for example, with a pool, sauna, fitness area, and/or fireplace.

2. Co-owners with complementary usage preferences: MYNE brings together owners with complementary usage preferences. For example, families with school-age children from different federal states share a property with childless couples and families whose children have already left home.

3. The MYNE reservation system – simple & fair: Among co-owners with complementary usage preferences, the MYNE reservation system, with its transparent reservation rules, ensures flexible use and fair distribution.

Question 5

Can I sell my share again?

Accepted Answer

After a holding period of 12 months, you have the option to sell your share at any time. We would be happy to help you find a new buyer. It's even possible that one of the other co-owners might want to take over your share directly.

Question 6

Who will manage and maintain the property?

Accepted Answer

MYNE takes care of all the coordination and administration for you – ensuring an unforgettable and relaxing stay.

Upon arrival, your personal belongings will be ready, and your favorite wine will be waiting for you in the refrigerator. As a co-owner, you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Question 7

How are running costs divided?

Accepted Answer

Monthly costs are incurred for the operation and maintenance of your property, which are shared by the owners. To ensure these costs are distributed transparently and fairly, MYNE prepares a business plan for each property, forecasting the expected costs, which is then approved by the co-owners.

The monthly maintenance and management costs are divided into three categories:

1. Consumption-based costs (divided according to usage), e.g., electricity, water, heating; cleaning; linen packages.

2. Fixed operating costs (e.g., insurance); maintenance and upkeep (e.g., pool and garden maintenance); maintenance reserve (for the property and its contents); property management company fees (e.g., accounting).

3. MYNE service fee (flat rate per share): professional and value-oriented property management; coordination among co-owners; coordination of external service providers; MYNE owner services.

Question 8

Can I rent out the property when I’m not there?

Accepted Answer

Your share is your property. You may decide whether to use your allocated time yourself or make it available for rental—provided that other co-owners are not disadvantaged and the property holds the required rental license.

You may allow friends or family to stay without being present yourself. Whether you charge them is entirely up to you.
Renting to third parties is handled by MYNE as part of a professional rental process.
