There was a good article in the Independent on Saturday 1st March about fractional ownership. It covers many asset that can be fractionalised: cars, jets, property, handbags, art, and points out some of the realities of sharing. I may be passionate about encouraging people to share, but I’m always at pains to point out that the partners must be like-minded and have compatible requirements. I also understand that it doesn’t suit everyone. As someone recently told me: “I don’t share anything. I was an only child”
It mentioned yours2share too – so it must be a great article!
