The Fractional Offer – Your 5% in Crown Works

Your commitment

  • £312 deposit today

  • Then £165 per month for 36 months

 

What that buys you

  • A 5% equity stake in a UK Limited Company that holds one Crown Works apartment as its sole asset

  • The Ltd company already owns the unit; all purchase costs and fees have been paid

  • You are recorded as a 5% shareholder from day one

  • Your 5% participates in capital growth immediately, even while you’re still completing your payments

You are not buying “points”. You are buying legal shares in a UK property company with a specific, clearly identified apartment in Crown Works.

How the Structure Works (Step by Step)

1. Reserve

  • Pay £312 and sign your shareholder agreement online

  • Your 5% allocation is reserved and recorded

2. Build your stake

  • Pay £165/month for 36 months into an independent, segregated trust account

  • Your ownership is tracked and documented from day one

3. Property & finance

  • The Crown Works apartment sits in a UK Ltd, with 1,000 shares @ £125 (example)

  • A developer loan at company level (not in your name) has funded part of the purchase

  • That loan is repaid from net rental income, not from your salary

4. Growth, then income

  • From acquisition, your 5% participates in capital growth (we model ~4% p.a. conservatively)

  • Once the developer loan is repaid (target around Year 7, performance‑dependent):

    • The company owns a debt‑free Crown Works apartment

    • Net rental income is then targeted to be paid out to shareholders (including you)

The Numbers: What This Can Mean Over Time

Exploring Africa (Youtube Banner) (2).jpg

Remember: with Crown Works fractional, the goal is a 100% debt‑free apartment owned inside the company – and you own 5% of that asset.

Using conservative assumptions and modelling only inflation‑level growth:

  • c.167% total return after 8 years
    Your original equity has grown to 2.67x – you’ve more than doubled your stake before even counting the long tail.

  • c.216% total return after 10 years
    By Year 10, your equity is worth over 3x what you put in, and the asset is on track to be completely debt free, with net rent targeted to flow to shareholders.

In plain English:

Over 8–10 years, you’re not just “saving” – you’re converting £312 + £165/month into a fully paid‑off slice of a UK apartment, plus a realistic 2–3x uplift on your equity, before any further upside.

 

(As always, these figures are modelled, not guaranteed, but they show why pairing time + real assets + debt repayment is so powerful.)

Why Crown Works Attracts the Right Tenants

Crown Works 2024 Brochure.pdf (17).jpg

Crown Works sits exactly where modern renters want to live:

  • In the walkable town centre – minutes from shops, cafes, bars and Coopers Square

  • 5 minutes’ walk to Burton‑on‑Trent station – 23 minutes to Birmingham New Street, easy reach of Derby and Nottingham

  • A short drive to major employers (Amazon, Nestlé, DHL, JCB and others) and Queen’s Hospital

  • Quick access to parks, canal walks and the Peak District

 

That combination – commutable to big cities, amenity‑rich, and close to green space – is precisely what young professionals, key workers and commuters are willing to pay for and stay for, supporting both occupancy and rent levels at Crown Works.
