How it works
ShareVillage guides groups through every stage of collective home ownership, from discovery to co-ownership, with transparency, safeguarded funds, and clear legal milestones.
Pay nothing until you're sure
Pay nothing until the required funds to buy the entire property have been allocated. Once the purchase threshold is reached, all participants will be asked once again if they wish to proceed. If all say yes, then and only then do you transfer funds to MangoPay (our financial partner) and we will proceed with the purchase. If for any reason, you do not wish to proceed with the purchase, you are free to leave the project at any point, no questions asked.
How it works
Collective purchasing, made transparent
ShareVillage guides groups through every stage, from discovery to co-ownership, with clear milestones and safeguarded funds.
You own your chosen home individually and may resell it at any time.
Discover & choose your home
Browse exceptional multi-home properties across Europe. Select the specific dwelling that fits your vision, a cottage, farmhouse, or wing of a château.
Register interest or commit funds
Express interest without obligation, or make a financial commitment held in a safeguarded account through our regulated payment partner.
Due diligence & legal structure
Once the funding threshold is reached, independent surveys, legal review, and a co-ownership structure are prepared for all participants.
Approve & acquire together
Funds are only released toward acquisition after due diligence is complete and every participant provides explicit approval.
Ownership
Your home, your ownership
ShareVillage is collective buying, not collective living by default. Each buyer owns their chosen home individually. Shared land, gardens, and facilities are managed together, but your dwelling is yours.
You may resell your home at any time, to another community member or on the open market. Simple transfer rules in the co-ownership agreement keep the village stable while preserving your freedom to move on.
Individual title interest in your chosen home or building
Resell whenever you choose
Shared areas governed by agreements all owners approve at purchase
Expression of interest vs. financial commitment
Expression of interest
Register your interest in a specific unit without any financial obligation. This helps the community gauge demand and plan the acquisition. You can withdraw interest at any time before making a financial commitment.
Financial commitment
Commit funds to be held in a safeguarded account through our regulated payment partner. This demonstrates serious intent and contributes toward the funding threshold. Withdrawal conditions apply and are clearly explained before you confirm.
Safeguarded funds
Your money is never held by ShareVillage
Your financial commitment would be held in a safeguarded account with a regulated payment partner such as Mangopay. ShareVillage never directly custodies client funds. Funds are only released toward property acquisition after due diligence is complete and all participants provide explicit approval.
- Funds held in segregated, safeguarded accounts
- Regulated payment partner (Mangopay-ready architecture)
- Release only after due diligence and buyer approval
- Clear withdrawal conditions before threshold is reached
Why this matters
Informal group buying often lacks financial safeguards, legal structure, and transparent withdrawal rules. ShareVillage provides a regulated framework where every participant understands their rights and obligations before committing.
