The real estate partnership: a brief explanation
What is a patrimony company?
Many Belgians have built up a property portfolio through personal success or family accumulation. Often, these properties were placed in a patrimony company - a structure that became popular over the years, thanks in part to tax and legal advice.
Pressure on efficiency and regulation
Stricter legislation, evolving taxation and increasing technical requirements have significantly reduced the returns of these companies in recent years. Today, what was once an interesting form of investment often offers less margin and more complexity.
A solution in case of transfer or succession
In the context of estate planning or succession, these companies not infrequently prove to be a source of concern. They require active management, while the next generation does not always have the time or interest to do so. In such situations, a sale can be a logical and valuable step.
Why sell?
Looking for fewer worries? We understand that.
In practice, we find that property company owners often consider a sale for similar reasons:
- Reducing administrative burden
- Making assets partially or fully liquid
- Stepping out of an undivided state
- Simplifying wealth transfer to the next generation
- Optimising returns as a natural person
Away from the company? There is a smarter way.
When you decide to cease a professional activity or dispose of your real estate company, it seems logical to first sell all the assets separately and then liquidate the company. But that is often not the most efficient route.
A sale of the company's shares offers significantly more benefits in many cases:
- Time saving: No complex settlement procedure
- Simplicity and clarity: one buyer, one transaction
- Tax efficiency: sale proceeds of shares are in principle not taxable for individuals
- Reduced costs: No duplicate transaction fees or additional tax levies
