Why Timeshare Fees Keep Rising
Many owners were told at purchase that fees would only rise slightly. In reality, annual increases often far exceed inflation. A £150 fee in the mid-90s could be over £600 just 20 years later, and thousands per year today.
The Long-Term Cost
Maintenance fees are designed to be perpetual. Over a 30-year span, a modest yearly increase can turn into tens of thousands of pounds. This calculator shows the compounding effect.
