Cahootz lets you begin investing in property through fractional ownership with a group of like-minded investors that we match you with.

Cahootz charges:

1. One off 2% fee of the property acquisition price (this is already included in your fraction cost).  Cahootz does not hold your money at any time and only receives its fees on closing of the property purchase.
2. Recurring 2% of the rental income (this comes out of the company accounts at the end of each rental period).  This fee covers all company administration and technology costs necessary to run the property transparently and efficiently.  
   

All costs are detailed on your dashboard and in the annual company accounts.  There are no markups by Cahootz on any of the maintenance, management or services related to the property.  This transparency, we believe brings something new to the property management market.

There is no minimum investment amount to get started – this is dependent on the value of the property you want to co-own and the number of other investors in your cohort.

Yes, you will be a shareholder of limited company, created for the sole purpose of purchasing the property, and listed on the land registry as the owner of the property. You are the true property owner.

Cohorts are formed automatically based on the property each person is interested in owning. If you wanted to invest in multiple properties then you can be part of multiple cohorts.

All potential investors will be fully verified and checked prior to being accepted into a cohort, and all interaction with Cahootz and your cohort can all be managed through the Cahootz dashboard. 

Any decision that needs to be taken as a group will follow the voting rules as outlined in your company shareholder agreement and the Cahootz code of conduct.

You can sell your fraction of a property 12 months after your initial investment date.  This will first be offered to the cohort that purchased the property with you before being listed on the Cahootz secondary market.

Yes. Once you have purchased a property you are able to make proposals and vote on any action regarding the property with your co-owners.  If you would like to live in the property and pay the applicable rental price then you can put forward this proposal. Alternatively, if you acquire all the outstanding fractions of the property then of course you can decide what it is you would like to do with the asset.

Yes.  We will enable you to upload the property to your dashboard and then to the market place where other members will be able to see the property and decide if they want to be involved.

We anticipate that each purchase process should take between 2-3 months assuming that all the relevant documentation is in place. Between the exchange and closing of a transaction, Cahootz creates a digital vault with all relevant documentation regarding the property transaction and property is stored.

At this stage this is not an option.

We are not an estate agent or developer. We direct our clients to agent listings and developer microsites if available and if you are looking to purchase a property the traditional way, this should be done directly through the relevant agent.

We are completely agnostic as to what properties are sold and allow the market members to come together and decide what it is they want to purchase. Cahootz enable the execution, post letting, and management to be done in a transparent, efficient and hassle-free manner for the cohort.

‍

Co-owning property with others for investment purposes through a company structure, is not a new concept.  However, the headache around setting up and managing a limited company is something that Cahootz is addressing with our fully managed, technology enabled property solution that takes the stress and hassle out of doing it on your own.

However, the transparency that we bring to the management and maintenance of the property is something that the market is greatly lacking and is where today’s technology can make a real difference.

Yes. As a true owner your fraction increases proportionally in line with the property value.

Cahootz works for the cohort members.  If the members decide that Cahootz is not performing to their expectations, then they can vote and remove Cahootz from the management of the company.

Cahootz will ensure that the relevant company taxes are paid.  However, we are not tax experts and each cohort member need’s to take their own tax advice.
