Why it matters

You do not have to own everything to own enough.

Having your own place in Reykjavík can be wonderful. Somewhere familiar, where you know where everything is and feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.

But if you use the apartment for only part of the year, why own all of it?

Property prices have risen, our lifestyles have changed, and we expect more from how we use both our time and money.

Heimkoma is built on a simple idea:

Own what you use — enjoy what you own.

Less capital tied up in one property. Less administration. More room to enjoy life.

So much to enjoy in Reykjavík.

Restaurants, music, theatre, culture and lively city life are always close by.

The ownership idea

A smarter approach to ownership

The idea is simple. Instead of one person buying the whole apartment, several owners share it.

You buy a share and become its registered owner. The share includes a defined number of days for personal use each year. Book your time through Heimkoma's system and use the apartment yourself or let your children or parents use it.

If you do not want to use all your days, you can also allocate some to rental.

Heimkoma handles the property's operations and management, so you do not need to worry about day-to-day administration.

You have more than access to an apartment. You are an owner.

It is that simple

Buy a share → Book your time → Arrive and enjoy → We take care of the rest

Key benefits

Why own 100% if you do not need to?

Owning a Reykjavík apartment can be wonderful. But if you use it for only part of the year, buying the whole apartment may not be the most sensible approach.

Less capital tied up in one property

Own the share that matches your use instead of investing in an entire apartment that may stand empty for much of the year.

Your place in Reykjavík

Come to a familiar place and use it as your own, rather than another hotel room or rental apartment.

Less administration

Heimkoma handles operations and management. You do not need to add another property to your to-do list.

More flexibility

Less capital tied up in one property means more room for other investments, travel and experiences.

Real ownership

You are acquiring a share in a property you can enjoy, not simply buying accommodation.

Own what you use — enjoy what you own.

Could this suit you?

There are many reasons to want your own place in Reykjavík without owning an entire apartment.

You live outside the capital region

You regularly visit Reykjavík for work, meetings, medical appointments, family or simply to enjoy the city. It is good to have your own place when you come to town.

You live abroad but want your own place in Iceland

You visit home regularly and want a place of your own, ready when you arrive, without having to own and operate a whole apartment.

You regularly visit Reykjavík for work

Instead of booking a hotel or accommodation each time, you can own your place in the city and use it when needed.

You want to enjoy Reykjavík more often

Restaurants, culture, events, shopping or simply a city weekend. Sometimes you need no special reason to visit Reykjavík.

A quality place

A quality setting matters

Smarter ownership should not mean compromising on quality.

The first Heimkoma apartment in Reykjavík will be in a new development at Laugavegur 170 in Heklureitur, with an emphasis on quality design, interiors and finishes.

Heimkoma chose Heklureitur for its excellent location, elegant new apartments and quality development. An experienced team of developers and builders stands behind the project, with a focus on quality and professional work.

We combine smarter ownership with a property you look forward to visiting.
