Read About the Cases
HILI
HILI is a Norwegian investment firm that offers a unique approach to homeownership. Homeowners can sell a share of their property to HILI, while retaining full access to their entire home. They also have the option to buy back the share at a later time. The agreement between the homeowner and HILI is a genuine co-ownership, which is legally registered. This solution is not a loan or credit. Homeowners continue to benefit from a growing housing market. With HILI, owning a home no longer requires full ownership; you can now own a portion of a home instead of none at all. HILI’s revenue comes from Asset Management fees paid by house owners and potential upside from homeowners and HILI selling their properties at a higher price.
Since launching in late 2023, HILI has achieved significant traction in the market. Over NOK 500 million worth of homes have been signed up on the waitlist, demonstrating strong demand for their innovative homeownership solution. HILI has also forged strategic partnerships with leading companies in residential real estate, fund management, and mortgage brokerage. Their strong presence in Norwegian media has boosted their visibility and credibility. Additionally, HILI has secured a contract with an international fund based in London, providing access to global capital and supporting their expansion efforts.
