Frequently Asked Questions
What is timeshare?
The concept of a timeshare is to buy the annual use of a high-standard holiday apartment. You specify the time of year, and the property at a given resort can be yours exclusively each year, either for a fixed term or in perpetuity.
When you own a timeshare you can "deposit" your week in a vast computer bank to exchange with other timeshare owners via the exchange organisation that your new resort is affiliated to (either Resort Condominiums Intenational (RCI) or Interval international (II). You can then enjoy a different holiday in another part of the world each year, all paid for in advance because of your timeshare holding.
So, all you have to do every year is pay a realistic maintenance fee, pay for your flights and enjoy your holiday. Typically, a new timeshare week will more than pay for itself after 3 to 5 years. With a World-wide Timeshare Hypermarket resale, your holiday week for life can cost you as little as a single package holiday!
What is the difference between resale and new timeshare weeks?
Nothing, except the price. Resort developers invest large sums of money and expensive marketing methods to employ sales personnel. 60% of the price of a "new" timeshare is absorbed by these marketing costs.
Buying through World-wide Timeshare Hypermarket saves you a substantial ammount on developers prices! We buy or sell about 1000 timeshare weeks each and every week, so our stock is constantly changing. Take a look at our resale bargain list to get a better idea of the low prices available.
What are my legal safeguards when dealing with Worldwide Timeshare Hypermarket?
Buying through World-wide Timeshare Hypermarket you can be sure that you are in safe hands. Your monies are deposited in an Escrow account, administered by Fully Insured Trustee Company. This means that no funds will be released until title has been transferred to the purchaser's name, ensuring both parties to the agreement of sale are fully protected. All purchasers have an unconditional 14 day cooling off period, during which time they can pull out of the sale.
How long will it take to sell my week?
It could take just days to sell your timeshare. In other cases it may take longer, depending on the demand for your particular week or resort. You can often gain a quicker sale by being realistic with your price. The cheaper the week is, the more likely it is to be snapped up. We have waiting lists of buyers who want to own at particular resorts.
How long will it take to purchase my week once I have had an offer accepted?
Purchasing a week can take anything from 2 weeks to 60 days to complete, depending on the co-operation of the resorts themselves. World-wide Timeshare Hypermarket have to ensure that all legal proceedures are adhered to and that each timeshare week is free of any liens and encumberences.
