Our Story
Lighthouse was set up by Stephen Bishop, an experienced real estate lawyer and a leading expert on fractional ownership in Europe.
In 2008, he saw how fractional ownership could open up second home ownership for more people. That is still the driving force behind Lighthouse today.
" I'm interested in new and innovative ways that can open up second home ownership. When I first came across fractional ownership, I immediately saw how it could offer the opportunity of second home ownership to more people".
