"Even when middle-class millionaires invest in traditional luxuries like second homes, jets, or yachts, they prefer fractional ownership. They're looking for ownership to be converted into a relationship rather than an asset they have to take care of. Their primary luxuries are time and attention."

Lewis Schiff , Advanced Planning Group

"Fractional ownership is quickly becoming a mainstream way of living and is emerging as one of this decade’s major paradigms in consumer behavior."

Fractional Life sponsors prestigious fractional property award

Blendon Communications is pleased to announce that Fractional Life will be sponsoring the Best Fractional Ownership Scheme category at the Homes Overseas Magazine Awards 2007.

Editor of Homes Overseas magazine, Mike Hayes, said: "We've been reporting on the international property market for over 40 years, and right now I'd say the best new fractional ownership schemes are among the most attractive developments in the second-home market.

"Fractional Life's sponsorship of this new awards category shows the prominence of international property within the fractional ownership family, and we are looking forward to seeing some of the very best fractional property schemes vying for the coveted gold award at this year's ceremony."

The awards ceremony will take place on 11 September at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
