"We love France and have always wanted to own a second home there, but knowing where to begin was the challenge so it made sense to just always go on vacation. That was before we discovered August during the recent pandemic which made us finally decide to move ahead. With our August homes, we can settle in and make it our European base for when we travel. Convenience is what we prefer when it comes to our family of 7."

Kimberly and Scott, 2021

"Living in the US, August makes owning homes in Europe very easy and possible. It still allows us to continue with our lives in America and we can visit whenever we want.

We love that we are sharing the cost of the homes but still own the homes and use it when we need to."

Nancy, Mike and their sons - 2021

"We have family in France so owning August homes means we can travel to France whenever we want, not to mention the bonus homes in Spain, Italy and the UK. We're all very excited and can't wait for Summer. August is the most ideal solution for our family with the large size homes and everything is taken care of. So convenient and perfect for our needs!”

Tammy, Chris & their children, Michelle, Tim, Kenny - 2021

“The more we looked into August, the more it just felt right. We didn't think we'd buy another second home after we sold our place in Mallorca or even be able to own property in Europe after Brexit but actually for less than the price of our previous home, we were able to secure a share in an August Collection and own five homes in Europe. We didn't think this was possible.”

Patricia and James, 2021

"We've been thinking about a second home in Europe for a while, The Cotswolds was high up on my list but my girls loved the idea of having homes in multiple locations. We went ahead with the Signature Collection and the larger homes because we want to share them with our friends and family. The August model allows flexibility as our family grows. With two teenage girls, it's important there's enough space for them to do their own thing."

Yvonne, Aerin and Kiki, 2020

"It made sense that if we went ahead with a collection, it would have to fit the way we travel. The Family Collection of homes are perfect, conveniently located closer to the cafes, shops and culture we love to discover! The smaller size fits the two of us or a small group but it's fantastic to have larger collections to consider in the future"

Tara and Pradeep, 2021

"We've been looking for a while and are familiar with the co-ownership model, it makes a lot of sense especially as it's a second home. We've even gone on a potential home visit in France, however, it just wasn't quite right, it didn't feel like we could call it our home as it didn't suit our style. What's the point of going somewhere if it's not as great as your home here in London?"

Professional West London family of five, 2020

"We've worked on a lot real estate and design projects all over the US for many years, so we know what's involved with creating homes and appreciate building these spaces. We know what it means to not only own second homes but also to renovate and design in a foreign country as we have a place in Paris as well. It's had it's challenges. We won't be doing that again any time soon so its great that August deals with all of that plus we get to add five European homes for our big family to enjoy."

Lisa and Brian, 2020

"We're a very international family so our August homes will be our base when we explore the world as we like to experience the local culture, visit local towns, taste the local foods, and meet locals."

Aki and Mark, 2020

''Having the right properties in the right locations, with a good ratio of properties to families and a scheme that allows an equity purchase is something I've not been able to come across.''

Tracy and Colin, 2020

''The opportunity to completely unwind from work and spend time with the family is very important for us. Everything is taken care of before we arrive and when we leave, allowing us to just enjoy our holiday.''

Surrey Family, 2020

''The real ownership side of things where there’s equity that will increase in value, not having to deal with the physical homes, administration and knowing the liveable comfortable homes are finished to high specs are what really made me decide this was right.''

Peter, 2020

''I come from a big family and love big homes and inviting everyone, the fact that all the August homes have many bedrooms and the fact that I can invite my friends and family at no extra cost is a no-brainer!''

Susan, 2020
