# 21-5 | The Original Co-Ownership Model for Holiday Homes

> 21-5 is the original and world-leading model for shared ownership of holiday homes, invented in Denmark in 2008. We bring together 21 like-minded families to co-own 5 unique, handcrafted holiday homes across carefully selected destinations, primarily in Southern Europe. Today, more than 1,500 families have joined a 21-5 Owners' Association across more than 60 associations and over 300 acquired properties.

## Why 21-5
As pioneers of the shared holiday home model, we deliver more value, less hassle, and a smarter way to own:
- **Greater value:** Each family becomes co-owner of 5 homes worth several times the individual investment.
- **Zero hassle:** We locate, negotiate, purchase, renovate, furnish, and operate every home — families just enjoy.
- **Fair access:** Around 12 weeks of access per family per year, distributed via a fair booking system (no first-come, first-served race).
- **100% family-owned associations:** 21-5 holds no ownership stake — every association is independent and owned solely by its 21 families.
