What is the Earlments Hotel Apartment Model?

Earlments is a serviced apartment model that allows an individual to buy a unit, which is then leased back to Earlments Company Ltd. The unit is then managed and operated by Mantis (a member of the Accor Group). This arrangement assures owners of hassle-free lease income and professional quality upkeep and maintenance by Mantis. Here there are no gaps in income as rental revenue is assured at 11% per year for 5 years, with up to 3% annual asset value appreciation rate. The owner is assured of an exit or buy back at the end of the 5th year.

This model has several advantages when compared to apartment rental arrangements.

How does Earlments work?

Your serviced apartment will be managed by Mantis, a company dedicated to managing Earlments exclusively for its owners.

How does one become an owner at Earlments? Pick your unit:
• Studio
• OneBedroomApartment

• TwoBedroomPenthouse
After selecting the unit, the buyer is required to fill a Reservation Form, pay a deposit, and receive an Offer Letter, Sales & Purchase Agreement and then the Lease Agreement from Earlments Company Ltd. We suggest you go over these documents with legal assistance before signing and returning them to us.

Lease Agreement

By signing the Lease Agreement, the buyer agrees to lease the unit back to Earl Heights Company Limited, where the unit becomes part of the hotel's assets and is managed as part of the hotel.

What are the terms of the lease?

The lease shall be for a period of (5) years.

Owners Association Fees

Owners association fees and expenses are integrated into the serviced apartments operating costs and will be deducted from Gross Room Revenue.

Can the owner live in the property full time?

No. As this is an investment model, owners are only allowed to use their unit for 14 nights per year. Owners are entitled to a pro rata number of nights, if the unit has been purchased after the start of the operational year.

Can the owner stay longer than 14 nights?
If the stay is longer than 14 nights, buyers are offered a 50% discounted rate per night.

Which periods are considered peak?

The months of January, June and December, are what we classify as peak periods.

Owners or their guests, can stay and exercise their 14 nights outside of these
periods to maximize return on investment.

Can you sell your unit?

Yes, after the 5th year, the unit will be bought back at the full purchase price plus 15% in addition by

the developer.

Which extra cost will I need to prepare for?

• Documentation (preparation of indenture & site plan)

• Fee charges for registration of title documents with Lands

  Commission and Land Title Registry (this excludes stamp duties which are paid directly to the statutory authority)

  These fees in total amount to approximately $2000.

  How long has this model been around?

  Various fractional ownership models have existed in major resort destinations in Europe since the 1970's. New projects specifically designed for fractional ownership began appearing in the 1990s and have increased in number throughout Europe. It is a safe and trusted model.

  How many days a year can I stay, in my fractionally owned property?

  You can stay in a hotel apartment suite for 14 days a year, the same amount of time as if you were to own the unit outright.

10 Incredible Accra House Rent Designs

After renting your 2 bedrooms, 3 bedroom and 5 bedrooms in Accra and beyond. There is also the need to plan and design where the furniture will be arranged, the type of paint colour to use and also the right arrangements.

Some people have a natural eye for design but were more I the camp of those who can't do anything without consulting the experts. And even if they are consulted, expectations don't always meet reality. We'd love to have an interior designer on speed dial before deciding just exactly where and how to hang that sweet new wall art bought. Here are the 10 incredible Accra House Rent Designs.

1. Establish A Color Scheme

For a head-to-toe makeover, the first step is creating a palette. "I come up with a basic colour scheme for the whole house, and then I take that from room to room," reveals Gary McBournie, a designer based in Boston. "It plays itself out in different ways in different rooms."

2. Fake Height

"Create strong verticals and avoid the horizontal," recommends designer Todd Romano. "I adore large mirrors because they add scale to a room. I also kept the furniture low-slung, so the rooms seem taller."

3. Stock Your Bar

Cleaning up clutter can be a good thing, but there's one thing hosts should never stowaway. "Show, don't tell, what you're serving with a well-appointed bar," says Bunny Williams. "Guests feel more at home when they can help themselves."

4. Extend Your Backsplash

Eye-catching tile can make a statement in the kitchen as well as in the bathroom. Cover as much of the wall as the budget allows, recommends designer Angie Hranowsky. Matthew Quinn, also a designer, agrees: "It feels more like a French bistro this way," he says of this blue-grey backdrop.

5. Add Texture

Neutral decor can be interesting — just include a variety of materials. "I used a range — from fine-gauge and open-weave linen to raw silk and taffeta to cotton velvet and distressed velvet," says California-based designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano. "Not only that, but there's also the contrast of matte sheens that absorb the light and lustrous sheens that reflect it."

6. Play With Textiles

You might think of straw as an outdoor textile, but it'll look just as good indoors. "Straw, jute, rush — natural materials and neutral tones are they always chic," says Braff. "They're the white T-shirt of interior design."

7. Put Investment Pieces Up Front

If you truly love something, you'll want to put it on display. "Use and enjoy your antiques and unique finds, especially in a utilitarian room like the bathroom," advises designer Bunny Williams.

8. Swap Chairs For Benches

Dining room benches might not be conventional, but they sure are cozy. "You automatically feel more friendly when you're sharing a seat," points out designer Thom Filicia. "It could quickly become corporate if you were looking at a room full of chairs." Vicente Wolf, also a designer, agrees on mixing it up: "You wouldn't have eight identical chairs in your living area."

9. Use The 50/150 Rule

For the perfect colour family, mix one batch of paint 50% lighter than the base and another 150% darker. "That's a fail­safe method for striping a wall," says Mary Douglas Drysdale, who designed this bold blue kitchen. "It's also a very architectural way of using colour."

10. Warm Up A Room With Mirrors

Mirrored panels like the ones lining this alcove can be elegant — but don't just slap them up, designer Jan Showers warns. Large sheets of a mirror will look commercial, so try a sectioned pattern in the traditional French style instead.
