Frequently Asked Questions

To learn more about how Ko works, click here.

How does Ko make money?

We charge two fees: 10% of the share’s value when you purchase a Ko home. This is a one-off service fee. A platform administration fee of $150 per month.

What are the initial and on-going costs involved for Ko owners?

When you enter a co-ownership agreement with Ko, your first one-off payment covers the cost of your share, closing fees, any home upgrades (if applicable), and Ko’s 10% service fee. We also set up a reserve fund, where each owner puts in 6 months of their share of expected operating costs. Ongoing costs include: Your respective portion of the maintenance of the property, such as utilities. A monthly fee ($150 AUD) to cover the maintenance and administration of the home, and usage of the Ko booking app. Ad hoc daily cleaning fees during your holiday stay. These vary for each property.

Can I purchase more than 1/8 of the home?

Yes, you can. Each home is divided into eight equal shares, and you can choose to purchase as many as you wish. For example, if you purchase 4/8 shares, you will own 50% of the home – meaning that you will have access to the property for 50% of the year and own more equity in the property, allowing for greater returns if you choose to sell all or some of the shares.

Can a Ko-owner make decisions on behalf of the group?

Ko is a neutral third party that always acts in the best interest of the group. As such, we make decisions that impact routine maintenance of the homes such as weather proofing and smaller repairs. Bigger decisions need to be brought to a vote. Each share of the home equals a singular vote.

Can I sell my share(s) of the house?

Yes, you can sell all or part of your shares whenever you wish to do so. Owners also have complete control over the price, and they can choose to list the home privately or sell their shares on the Ko platform.
