Frequently Asked Questions
If you cannot see your question answered here, please contact us.
Our team of experts are happy to advise you on the criteria for making a claim. But you may be entitled to action a claim if:
- You purchase your Timeshare after January 5th, 1999
- You have purchased a Fractional Ownership, weeks, or points
- You paid a deposit when you purchased
- You took out finance offered by the resort group when you purchased
- You can no longer access availability
- You were not explained your legal rights relating to your cooling off period at point of sale
- You have unfair increasingly high management fees
- Your timeshare ownership is in perpetuity, or your club membership was set up originally to last longer than 50 years
Not always, with some claims or terminations clients do not need to bring their annual fees up to date. Our experts will be happy advise you.
Yes there are always fees involved but sometimes these costs are paid at the end of the process. There are many different options available including a fully funded or part funded option, eligibility depends on many factors, for example:
- Which resort group you purchased from?
- Your potential claim value?
- When and where you purchased?
- What timeshare product you purchased?
- What documents you have available to support a claim and whether additional documents must be sourced?
- Please ask one of our advisors for more information.
It is very difficult to put a general timescale on the winning of claims because many factors outside of our lawyer’s control may have an impact on the time to win, for example the courts backlog, or the sourcing of support evidence to help your claim, or the translation of your support documents if you have purchased on more than one occasion. Claims have been won in the Spanish courts in under 3 months and some claims have taken over 18 months. Your advisor will give you a guide based on your ownership circumstances.
Nobody can guarantee you a win in court, but we can make sure that we are only presenting claims which can win based on the support documents available and the history of claims already awarded. Our lawyers will never action a claim unless they are sure they are going to win!
For our credibility and for our client’s piece of mind we offer all clients a 14-day cooling off period which allows them to do their due-diligence and to check that their assigned lawyer is regulated and registered. Once the claim is submitted to the translator then the claim is in process, and just as we are legally committed to following the claim through to conclusion, so is the client.
We calculate a minimum and maximum claim value. The minimum claim value would normally be the purchase price of the product minus any deduction by the court for years of successful usage and a maximum claim value could include compensation and interest plus any award by the courts to the client for payments made within 90 days of signing the contract which are awarded in double. Some clients receive as much as double their original purchase price. Our experts will be happy to assess your claims value.
We charge a fee of 25% plus VAT. This can vary depending on the value of your claim or funding options. Costs are awarded separately by the courts and are not subject to a commission charge.
For a limited time you may be able to use your timeshare if your fees are paid up to date. Our team will advise you as to when can no longer use your timeshare.
- Yes is the short answer. If you action a claim through the Spanish courts then once your case is won your ownership is made null and void meaning the contract never existed as it was illegal, this would be included in writing in the sentence by the court. If you choose to use our termination services, you will be supplied with confirmation in writing that you no longer own your timeshare ownership.
Under Spanish law, once a case has been submitted to the courts, regulated lawyers are obligated to work the case through to completion. So, whatever happens along the way once your case has been won your lawyer must ensure you are paid your win amount minus the agreed win commission.
