How To Get Out of a Timeshare


Timeshare properties offer the ability for people to own a piece of property alongside others to share the costs of ownership. However, timeshares don’t work out for everyone and it can be difficult to get out of the contractual obligations. When the benefits no longer outweigh the negatives, it is time to find a way out of that timeshare.
Timeshare Basics
When you bought your timeshare, you picked a particular week or weeks to use throughout the year. Those weeks can be traded for others if they are floating or flexible. Achieving timeshare termination can be difficult but not impossible. Depending on the type of ownership purchased, owners either have a shared leased ownership or shared deeded ownership. Over time, the owner pays fees and maintenance charges in addition to the purchase price.
Poor Investment
For many, owning a timeshare is not the best investment. The opportunity to resale the timeshare is limited with so many available for purchase. Like a vehicle, the timeshare depreciates in value instead of gaining value with time like a home.
Ownership Drawbacks
Timeshares only allow you to use one property for your vacation. If that particular location is a favorite, the timeshare may be a great vacation investment. If you enjoy any vacation flexibility, a timeshare may be a poor purchase. Another drawback is the limited amount of time you have to use the property. For longer vacations, a timeshare is unable to accommodate your schedule. Owning a timeshare comes with continual payments even once the original purchase price is paid in full.
Timeshare sellers often tout all the benefits of owning a timeshare. They may throw discounts and cost savings at you to entice you to purchase. Once you have spent the money, you may regret the decision and have trouble getting out of the agreement. Terminating your timeshare may be easier than you think with the right help.
