What is Timeshare?


Orange Lake Resort  Florida The concept of Timeshare as a means of securing years of high quality
holidays was invented in the early 1970s. Since then it has grown to the point where over 350,000 families in the UK and over 4 million worldwide now own Timeshares.

There are various different kinds of Timeshare but the basic principles are simple. Developers build high-quality holiday resorts which are open for the whole year. People then buy a period or periods of time from the developer, either on a leasehold or freehold (in perpetuity) basis.

Once you own your Timeshare then you are free to use it in variety of different ways. Many people buy a particular apartment in a particular resort at a particular time of year and use their own timeshare as a holiday home. Other people take advantage of the almost endless options available for exchanging their Timeshare for other timeshare resorts throughout the world. There are over 4000 Timeshare resorts worldwide, in every continent. The benefit of holidaying by exchanging your Timeshare is that there is an assurance that the accommodation and facilities you will go to will be of a high standard. Alternatively, you can use your Timeshare to give a holiday to friends or family or provide an income through renting it out. In order to maintain your Timeshare to a high standard, all resorts charge an annual fee to look after your property for you. This is variously called a maintenance, management or service charge and the amount varies from resort to resort. It should cover your share of apartment maintenance, grounds upkeep, staffing, insurances and access to leisure facilities amongst other things.

Because you own your Timeshare property it should be considered as an asset and as such it can be sold on at any time. This can help recoup some or all of your initial outlay. However, it is very important to note that
Timeshare is not and is not designed to be a financial investment. It is an
investment in a very high quality of holiday for as many years as you choose to own it.

Exchanging Your Timeshare

BahamasUsing a timeshare to travel the world provides the most cost effective way of ensuring top quality holiday accommodation for you and your family.

The 2 largest international exchange companies work in broadly similar ways and are called RCI and Interval International. Their job is to arrange swaps between the time periods owned by their millions of members and they can be seen as private travel agents working in the interests of their members. You pay a small annual fee to be a member and an exchange fee when you do a swap. This fee covers your whole party and is not per person. Both companies break the year down into seasons; RCI have Red (high season), White (mid season) and Blue (low season) while Interval International use Red (high), Yellow (mid) and Green (low). These seasons depend on how highly demanded a particular resort is at a particular time of year and you can generally swap the time you own for the same or lower colour band.
To be included in either international exchange system any resort has to be of a very high standard. Everyone who exchanges into a resort completes a questionnaire to help weed out substandard resorts and the exchange
companies send their own representatives to further monitor standards. There are also resorts that are given further accolades based on their facilities and general quality.
The international exchange companies can also arrange flights and car hire for you at very competitive prices.
If you are considering buying a Timeshare with a view to exchanging it then there are a couple of points worth bearing in mind.

· You do not need to swap your period of ownership for the same one at another resort. You can exchange for any period within your own or a lower colour band (see above). Having said that, if you need to travel in school holidays, need a particular Size of apartment or guarantee staying in the resorts with extra accolades then you would be best
advised to own an equivalent property.


·Any exchange company can only exchange you into a property that someone else has given to them. Therefore it is important to be as flexible as possible in terms of resort location and time period as you can. Start arranging your swap as far in advance as possible to ensure that you get a holiday that suits you.
