Fractional Ownership in Real Estate: Lessons Learnt When Schemes Go Wrong

Webinar | 07.01.21, 11:00 AM CEST - 12:00 PM CEST

Shared real estate ownership schemes have proved to be incredibly popular in recent years. Investors are often promised high yields into properties such as student accommodation, hotels, and even car parking. However, these projects are often poorly planned, where developments prove to be nothing more than a loss-making venture with investors frequently receiving lower yields or in some cases nothing at all.


Join us on Thursday 1st July at 9:30 am a panel of experts will share their insight and experiences of solving these complex problems and what lessons can be learnt from those schemes that go wrong. 


Financial journalist, James Ashton, will chair a discussion between Paul Muscutt, a partner here at Crowell & Moring and Simon Campbell and John Maclean from Quantuma Advisory’s restructuring and insolvency team.


Our panelists will cover:


  • How this market has grown and developed in recent years.
  • What fractional property investment is and why people look for alternative investments?
  • How these schemes go wrong: what issues come up and how do they occur?
  • How to handle a scheme that has gone wrong and the lessons learnt from unravelling these arrangements.

Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
