Getting out of timeshare, The options for getting out of timeshare ownership are:- •Sell to another consumer. The demand for timeshare is at an all time low with most weeks in mid- and low- season, floating weeks and points being totally worthless. Only fixed high season weeks in top quality resorts appear to be selling although prices are only a tiny fraction of what the owner originally paid. THere are now an estimated 400 sellers for every possible buyer - the market is VERY tough The number of owners trying to get out exceeds potential buyers by a factor of at least 200 to 1. ?The best chance of making a sale is through an honest resale broker recommended by TCA. Once you have decided which broker(s) you want to deal with, do not fix a specific price but say ?offers? which increases the chance of making a sale. Remember that, as from 23 February 2011, it is a criminal offence for a re-sale broker to take any money, for any purpose, from a seller (or buyer) until a sale has been completed. See Here ?An advertisement in your resort or club might find a buyer. But many resorts block such adverts because it indicates the poor resale value of the ownership to other owners or potential owners. And others advertise at prices which are too high to achieve a sale. ?Alternatively an advertisement on eBay; in a local shop, post office or your place of work might be effective. ?A paid-for advert in a newspaper is a almost certainly waste of money. •Hand back the ownership to the resort or club.. A small number of resorts/clubs are now offering their owners the right to terminate ownership at little or no cost. Commonly called an “exit programme”. Some resorts/clubs appear to make this offer to any owner who writes to request termination; others only provide this opportunity to those who are over 75 and/or are unable to travel whilst others limit the offer to a selected group. When the situation becomes clearer we will publish the names of the resorts/clubs together with their criteria for offering termination. •"Walk away" by stopping payment of the annual fees. This is still an effective method, but a number of timeshare companies are threatening to take ?defaulters? to court, although most are still "threateners" not "doers" ?Some owners who have been taken to court have successfully defended claims on the grounds of misrepresentation at the point of sale. as well as the original contract being "null and void" and/or being out of jurisdiction Timeshare Lease Removal Office 18 Fairbourne Drive Atterbury Milton Keynes MK10 9RG Telephone: 01908 666400 Email: timeshareleaseremoval@yahoo.co.uk , , Ipswich, 01908 666400.
