Why buy timeshare, and not just rent?
The reason people are buying instead or renting is simple. They own the property and have a choice in where they stay. The amenities are typically of a higher standard and cost less. As owners they can save pounds in many areas including lodging, entertainment, food and travel. The average maintenance fee is far less than the average rental cost for comparable accommodations and has not increased due to inflation the way typical rents have. Furthermore, owners are building equity in their ownership and can resell to recoup inflation costs.
