Ownership that follows your life — including when you want to sell

People who join Heimkoma think long term. This is a property investment intended to be enjoyed for many years with family and friends. Circumstances can change, so Heimkoma makes leaving through a sale straightforward, reducing uncertainty.

For this reason, a key principle from day one was that ownership with Heimkoma should be flexible — both when you join and when you decide to leave.

You can sell at any time — at a price you choose

As a Heimkoma owner, you are free to sell your share:

  • you may sell at any time
  • you may sell at a price you choose
  • you may sell with Heimkoma or another party of your choice

The condition is reasonable and fair: new buyers must meet the community's rules and terms, just like every other owner. This maintains fairness, quality and stability while preserving the seller's rights.

You control the decision, timing and asking price.

The most common question: “What if the sale is difficult?”

This is a natural and important question. Selling a traditional holiday property can take time; it is not unusual for sales to take one, two or even three years.

At Heimkoma, we make this simpler and more secure.

A clear commitment: Heimkoma buys you out within 18 months

If you put your property share up for sale and it has not sold within 18 months, Heimkoma is committed to:

buying the share from you and releasing you from ownership.

This is a clear part of Heimkoma's core arrangement, designed to ensure owners are not left facing uncertainty or circumstances beyond their control.

Leaving is part of healthy ownership

Leaving Heimkoma is a normal, defined part of the arrangement. The rules protect both the seller and the community, through:

  • clear rules for selling ownership shares
  • equal treatment of owners, regardless of timing
  • a predictable process without unnecessary complexity
  • stability and continuity within the community

Trust comes from a clear framework

This creates practical confidence and security.

We believe trust is built on clear rights and processes. Defining how people join and leave in advance makes ownership simpler, fairer and more secure for everyone.

The arrangements for joining and leaving are among Heimkoma's strongest foundations.
