OwnBrix.com is a private members club created to allow private investors the opportunity to build a varied property portfolio, without the need to spend time looking for and managing properties. Investors can purchase a share in a property, refered to as a Property Brix, & returns can be either capital appreciation or income, in many cases both. The process is very simple and offers investor's complete security at all times. OwnBrix locates properties which it feels would represent an excellent investment for its clients. Each property is made up of a set number of Property Brix (shares), which can not be changed.

All profits made on the property, be they capital gains or income are divided amongst the registered owners pro rata (i.e a 10% owner will receive 10% of the profit/income). As the property increases in value, so do your Property Brix. Best of all, unlike traditional property investment, the property is fully managed on your behalf and you can quickly realise the capital you have invested by re-selling your Property Brix on the Property Stock Market.

Do I own part of the property that I choose to Invest in?

Answer - Yes. When you buy a share in a property, you will own whatever percentage of the property you have agreed to buy. For example, if there is a property on the property stock market which is divided into ten Brix and you buy one brix, you will be a 10% owner of the property as you will own 10% of the issued Brix. Each property on the property stock market clearly shows not only how many Brix have been issued, but also what percentage of the total property they represent. For example a property divided into 200 Brix, will show that 200 Brix have been issued and that each Brix represents a 0.5% ownership of the property

How can I be sure that I own my part of the property?

Answer - Your name will appear on the property owners register, showing what percentage of the property you own. The property owners register is a legal document that is attached to the deeds of the property. In addition you will receive a property owner share certificate clearly telling you which property you have invested in and what percentage you own.

If the property is rented, do I receive my share of the rent?

Answer - Yes, you will receive your proportion of the rent, this means that if you own 3% of a building which is rented out, you will receive 3% of the net rental income. Rental income is distributed to the owners of a property quarterly in arrears. Rental income earned by you will be credited to your client account. You can request payment from your client account at any time. For security reasons, money will only be sent to you, at the address which you have registered with ourselves or direct to your bank account.

Can I sell my Brix whenever I want?

Answer - Yes, you can sell your Brix at any time. All you need to do is notify us of your intention to sell your Brix, complete a simple sell contract on line and your brix will be put up for sale. The sale price will be set at the market price as shown on screen, (though you do have the choice to ask for more or less than this price). When a sale is finalised, we will credit your client account with the net sale proceeds.

Who makes decisions about the properties?

Answer -  You do! OwnBrix will offer its advice and recommendations to all the owners of a property. These will include several options as to how the value or income can be increased. The owners of the property then vote to decide what they would like to happen to their property.

How are the Brix prices valued?

Answer -  The Brix are valued in direct proportion to the value of the property. For example, if a property is purchased for $10,000 and there are 10 Brix, each Brix is valued at $1,000. As the property increases in value so do the Brix. The value of a property changes continually over time, these changes are reflected in the Brix price. Each property has a full valuation carried out every three years. During the period between valuations, our team of property valuers watch the market, and based on published government figures and re-sales of similar properties in the area  re-value the property together with the Brix price based on the previous three month results.
