Most of us think of timeshares as a lifetime commitment, but many people choose to sell their timeshare property after just a few years. If you’re thinking of selling your timeshare, or you’d like to buy second hand, read on.

1. Has the resort changed?

The timeshare boom was a while ago, when many resorts weren’t as developed as they are today. Cheap flights and last-minute deals on accommodation mean that most resorts are easily accessible and attract tourists from all over Europe. This in turn can mean that the little resort that you loved when you bought your timeshare has now turned into a full-on 24-hour resort, and you’re not comfortable holidaying there.

2. Have your circumstances changed?

If you had a young family when you bought your timeshare, or you bought as a couple and you’re now single, then the timeshare may not be the most appropriate way for you to spend your holiday time. Older children require different attractions and activities, or choose not to holiday with you at all, in which case your timeshare apartment may seem too big. If you are single, a timeshare apartment may not be the way you want to holiday any more. Selling your timeshare may enable you to have more freedom in your holiday time.

3. Do you need to release money?

Although you are unlikely to get as much money for your timeshare as you spent when you bought it, selling will still produce some capital that you can use elsewhere. If you need to invest more money in a pension fund, or you want a deposit for another property, or you need to release cash for work on your own home, selling your timeshare might be a solution.

Whatever your reasons for deciding to sell your timeshare property, you will need an experienced agent to help you through, and to ensure that you get the best price and spend the least amount possible in fees.

Buying a Timeshare Resale: Seven Tips For Success Most people know that when buying a timeshare, great care should be taken. However, even more care and research should be used when buying a timeshare resale. Timeshare resales cost much less than buying directly from a resort developer, but you should still keep your best interests at heart. Being informed about your timeshare will lead to a positive experience. 1. It is a very good idea to actually see the timeshare you are buying. Some timeshare resellers may "talk up" their timeshare. If the reseller says that the timeshare is in a beautiful place, be sure to check it out. A timeshare, even a resold timeshare, is a great investment. It is important to make sure that you are buying what you want. 2. Timeshare resales often have very appealing prices. Sometimes, these prices can cause the buyer to overlook crucial questions. Be sure to ask about maintenance fees and property taxes. If these have not been paid up-to-date, then the timeshare will cost significantly more than the base price. It is very important to know the whole cost before you decide to buy a timeshare. 3. Some timeshares are affiliated with an exchange company. If the timeshare you are purchasing is affiliated with an exchange company, make sure to find out if this membership can be transferred.
