What is joint ownership?

Joint ownership is an incredible concept giving you the opportunity to own premier joint ownership vacation at a joint ownership apartment without the exorbitant cost of year-round ownership. The basic premise behind the joint ownership concept is that it gives you the exclusive right to vacation and enjoy ownership at your specific joint ownership apartment during a specific period each year, for as long as you own it. Joint ownership is priced according to a variety of factors including location and size of the apartment. By “locking in” at the purchase price, you are essentially guaranteeing a lifetime of luxury vacations and getaways at today’s prices. Joint ownership apartments are far more luxurious than most hotels or other apartments, offering a wide array of owner amenities and services. The apartments are nestled in the city centre with offering fully-furnished kitchens, spacious living areas, very good bedrooms and fantastic bathrooms, air-conditioning, floor heating, TV’s, VCR’s, stereo's, washing machine's, and accommodations for numerous family members and friends.

Another very attractive reason for owning joint ownership is the exciting opportunity to exchange the weeks you want. You may choose to return to your apartment year after year, trade with the other owners for any of the 52 weeks you want. It is this kind of owner flexibility that has catapulted the joint ownership apartments from Kozak Travel from nothing more than a great idea a little ago into the fantastic solution it is today.

Does owning joint ownership make sound financial sense?

Joint ownership offers you a lifetime of luxury vacations, but at the price you lock-in today. Crimea is rapidly changing to a modern western society. Crimea becomes more and more an international known holiday resort. The prices of apartments in Sevastopol rise every day.  Most people discover that after just 6-8 years of ownership, they have more than recouped what they have paid for their joint ownership in what they would have paid to vacation normally. From that point forward, your vacation property is available for your use every year thereafter without any additional cost. By buying a joint ownership, essentially what you have done is turn a luxury expense into an equity position that even can be willed to your children. At Kozak Travel, we offer an extraordinary inventory of discounted joint ownership opportunity in Sevastopol. An example?: a two room apartment at one of the two main streets of the city centre did cost in the year 1993: $140. Year 2000: $9.500. Year 2002:$15.000. Year 2004:30.000. Year 2005:$45.000. Year 2006: $60.000. Year 2007: $120.000!!!!!. After reconstruction and modernisation this apartment is worth at the moment (2007) $150.000!!!!!! The joint owners of this apartment bought it in 2004 for $30.000. made it up to date and furnished it for $20.000. total starting cost $50.000. The first year they did rent it out for $6.150, and last year for $7.800. Total profit at this moment for the owners when they would sell it: $100.000 and free holidays in Sevastopol.

What is flex time?

You may be able to use time frames such as; winter flex or summer flex. For example, if you own period, you may use any 3 weeks that falls within the defined winter months or 2 weeks in summer. Due to competition among existing owners for prime weeks, availability may vary. High and low seasons vary from year to year because of the dates of the special holidays in Sevastopol and around the world. Be sure to investigate this before purchasing a period. And when you would like to stay for a longer period, this is possible! No problem, you only have to pay the low basic rental price.

What are points?

The points system (referred to as credits) is a relatively new form of joint ownership. This system allows the owner to purchase points during a low season to be used for travel during high seasons of the next year. The more points purchased, the more rights offered when wishing to travel during high season. Likewise, more points may mean first choice for your holiday time. Flexibility is a major advantage to the point system, although everything is based upon availability and honesty against the other owners.

Apartment’s maintenance fees?

Owners share the costs of upkeep of their apartment as well as the common grounds of the property by paying a maintenance fee typically ranging from $100 to $300 annually. These fees, when pooled together, pay for ongoing property maintenance, beautification, capital improvements and general upkeep. The administration of the maintenance fee also provides you with the highest level of luxury and service with every visit! HOWEVER!!!! Because the apartment will be not completely booked by the eight owners during the whole year, Kozak Travel will try to rent it out to her clients during the free periods. This way you may even expect to have a profit every year!

Do I need a lawyer to handle the closing?

No! Kozak Travel can recommend licensed and bonded title Notaries or lawyers in Sevastopol. These notaries or lawyers can handle the closing process from start to finish including deed preparation, escrow of funds, estoppels certificate, closing statements and recording fees all for one low flat rate. The title work is attorney reviewed and guaranteed to be clear. The whole process is monitored and guided by a licensed large Belgium house broker company with an office in Sevastopol. Like you see we are Western and do business the Western way.

Can I buy and own a Apartment completely alone?

Yes you can! BUT whatever some American and English (foreign) websites, travel agencies and managers will tell you, you have to watch out!! A foreigner NEVER can own the land where the house or Apartment is situated at!!! It is also very dangerous to buy just some accommodation without a very good look at the documents. In the past we saw apartments which where sold to a foreign owner without a proper investigation from a legal expert, being taken back to the original owner. Kozak Travel can recommend licensed and bonded title Notaries or lawyers in Sevastopol because most of our staff has the Ukrainian nationality, speaks the language from birth on and knows who to trust and who not! These notaries or lawyers can handle the closing process from start to finish including deed preparation, escrow of funds, estoppels certificate, closing statements and recording fees all for one low flat rate. The title work is attorney reviewed and guaranteed to be clear and without any surprises at a later date for the buyer! Foreigners who offer you this service you never can trust, because they are also not at home in their country with their laws! Because of this, we recommend this service only used by a family with one of them from Ukrainian or Russian origin. Of course we can be at your service when you are foreign, but can't repair mistakes from others.
