Firstly - decide why you want a timeshare.

1. To go to the same place every year because you like the area and the resort - then you should buy the exact week, in the exact apartment or lodge in your chosen resort. If you cannot get the exact unit and week, you may be able to up-grade later when another owner wants to sell as existing owners are generally the first to hear about a resale.

2. Or to make use of the RCI exchange organisation facility to visit different resorts and countries each year. There are over 5,700 resorts world wide to choose from.

3.  To get the best possible choice of places to exchange into you need maximum "bargaining power". This bargaining power comes from the demand for the week that you own in relation to the demand for the week you want to exchange into - the greater the demand for the week you own, the better your choice. If buying more than one week try and balance the values or a two week exchange can be dragged down to the lower value

4. RCI timeshare points are a very flexible way to holiday in the future. You get RCI points to spend every year on holidays, flights, accomodation, car hire etc Please email for the best deals on RCI Timeshare Points

The best weeks to own for maximum "bargaining power" in weeks are:-

• in a RCI high star rated resort, the UK is also rated highly.
• in the Red period - the most popular time of the year for that specific resort.
• in a 2 bedroom or larger unit.

Don't forget that you will have to join an exchange organisation - for a fee - and pay an exchange fee each time you exchange. And Management Fees can become a factor if they are too high - they have to be paid every year whether you use your week or not. .
 

How to buy.

Purchase a week in the UK from a low cost developer, with low maintenance fees. Please email for the best deals

Deal only with a reseller who:-

• Gives you not less than 14 days cooling-off period
• Places buyer's money (and sellers Ownership Certificate) in an independent stakeholder account

And, finally, some DON'Ts

• Never buy into an apartment which is not yet built or into a resort with incomplete leisure facilities, even when they are "promised". Timeshare promises have a nasty habit of failing to materialise.
• Don’t buy if you think the Management Fees are too high. They are unlikely to go down. And watch out for levies.
• As a guide, management fees should be around £250/week  in warmer climes and £330 in cooler climes. If they are much more (or less!) than these figures you could have problem in the future.  And it is absolutely essential that there is a contribution to a “sinking fund” – perhaps around 10% of the fee.
• Don't rush your buying decision. Take time to choose what you want and where. Never buy at a presentation - you are making a decision to spend a large sum of money within  only a few hours of first seeing the product. Take weeks, even months,  on your decision and getting the best deal - then you can feel comfortable about your purchase for the years to come. A hasty decision is often regretted at leisure
