The concept of timeshares has been around for decades and they have been incredibly popular over the years for people who are keen to have regular use of a desirable holiday home which they can visit and enjoy.

Unfortunately, the industry has been plagued with issues and thousands of people have been left with timeshare contracts they were conned, tricked or pressured into agreeing to and no longer want. However, they can be notoriously difficult to get out of which means owners are left tied into a financial commitment which they cannot afford with no hope of release.

At Sarah Waddington Solicitors, we specialise in timeshare disputes and work with our clients to provide the expert guidance, advice and legal support they need. With our no win no fee timeshare claims services, you know that you are in the best possible hands with us fighting on your behalf to get you out of our timeshare contract.

What Does The Timeshare Claims Process Entail?

Timeshare law is incredibly complex with elements of contract law and intricate aspects of timeshares that are fluid and constantly changing, this is why many timeshare owners often try and inevitably fail at releasing themselves from their contracts without professional legal assistance.

At Sarah Waddington Solicitors we help to unburden our clients and take on all of the investigative and legal work for them to help build a strong and viable case for the termination of their contract. The claims process itself is aimed to be as straight forward as possible, with our legal experts on your side to guide you through. A typical process might include;

  • An initial compliance check
  • Collation of a case file
  • Taking of statements
  • Case review
  • Finance and EU Solicitor advice
  • Barrister advice
  • Preparation of a letter of claim or relinquishment
  • Liaison with client for approval to proceed
  • Send letter of claim or relinquishment
  • Issue court proceedings

What If I Have Been Contacted By A Timeshare Claims Company?

Not only are there individuals and companies out there who mis-sell timeshares but it is becoming increasingly common for timeshare owners to be contacted by ‘timeshare claims companies’. These so called businesses claim to be able to sell your timeshare for you, cancel your timeshare or claim compensation on your behalf. All they ask for in return is a one off fee for the legal costs, advertising charge or admin fees etc, which for many people desperate to get out of their expensive contracts can seem like a small price to pay.

These companies can be very good at sounding and looking legitimate but are unfortunately just another way to scam people out of their money.

It’s finally over and we are out of the timeshare.

When I called in October last year and you answered the phone I was in a very bad place, having just realised I was being scammed again by J Foster Associates. You managed to calm me down and get my money back. I will not forget your calming voice that day and I will always be crateful to you for that. All the staff at Sara Waddington Solicitors have been excellent and the whole process has been smooth.

Mr B Davey

On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to say a big thank you all at Sarah Waddington Solicitors who have helped us resolve our timeshare problem, you have put our minds at ease. I will not hesitate to recommend you should anybody who has a similar problem ask me in the future. Thanks again. Best Regards Mr B J Davey, Mrs J A Davey

P.A. Hobson

Thank you for your letter confirming the relinquishment of my timeshare. I was very pleased to receive it. I would like to thank you and your team for all your hard work, you made it very easy for me. All I had to do was be patient. So thank you very much and should anyone ask I will definitely recommend you.

Gary Semley

On a personal note today, after hearing the European Claim Centre (on the phone) call your company a 'scammer', today's conference came as further reassurance that we were absolutely with the right company. You may not realise it but your direct, and matter-of-fact 'bedside manner' left us in no doubt that we were under the care of very professional people (not that we should have needed any more reassurance).

Chris Roberton

Sarah gave excellent service and kept us informed in releasing us from Diamond Resorts points timeshare. Quite a relief to not have to pay those ever increasing maintenance fees. Thank you Sarah.

Mr and Mrs Andrews

When we got that final letter indicating that our membership with Diamond Resorts was now at an end it was such a relief. Financially it would have crippled us if we'd had to carry on paying the maintenance fees that were rising every year. When we took out our membership it was fine but everything went downhill after Diamond Resorts took over the business. It became a very expensive luxury which we could not afford and age and health became a problem. Diamond were very unhelpful when we tried to relinquish our membership and that was the reason why we turned to you for help. We would like to thank you for your help in this matter and we are more than happy with the representation and advice which you gave us.

Sarah Waddington Solicitors has recently contested, and successfully won a flight compensation claim for me. I found them to be very friendly, helpful and extremely professional. The contact was minimal throughout with no hassle, and I was kept up to date with proceedings as things progressed. I received the full amount of compensation (although when I initially challenged the Airline myself they told me I wasn't entitled to anything!!) for which I am delighted. I would have no hesitation contacting Sarah Waddington again or recommending her to family, friends and colleagues.

Arman Mazlum

A first class service from an approachable yet highly professional practice. Dealt with my flight delay claim extremely swiftly and with minimal hassle. Much recommended.

Carol Walker

When the maintenance fees for our time share soared in price we decided to try and " get out of our contract" after much discussions we were told that it would be very difficult if not impossible eventually we were put in touch with Sarah and she said she could help. After many months of contact with the timeshare company Sarah was successful and our contract was cancelled. Sarah kept us informed every step of the way. So if you are looking to cancel your timeshare give Sarah a call I am sure she will give you excellent advice.

Colette Walton

When we were first told that Sarah Waddington Solicitors could terminate our contract with a points style timeshare company, we were concerned that it wasn't a legitimate claim, as we had been told by the timeshare company that it wasn't possible. However, Sarah Waddington's have managed to terminate our contract for us, for which we are very grateful. We were kept informed throughout the case, very politely and professionally. We would certainly recommend Sarah Waddington Solicitors to anyone who is having the same problems.

David Williams

I am very happy with the service and support Sarah has provide to me, in dealing with a complex case over the last 12 months. I would have no problems recommending Sarah to any of my friends. I have contacted other law firms in Leeds and found them pompous and arrogant, Sarah is not and works well those who have less or no legal knowledge. I would advise any new clients, Sarah is user friendly.

Paul Goodhall

Just received my cheque for over £600 for my Flight Delay claim which was handled by Sarah Waddington Solicitors. I had a flight delay with my family a few years ago and after coming across their website submitted my claim which was simple and stress free. They were able to get my compensation within a few months on a No Win No Fee basis, was well worth the wait and the fee and would highly recommend them to my friends and family which I have already done. The money will now go towards a much needed holiday for my family again and as much as the delay caused us to miss 3 hours of our holiday, to receive this money it goes a long way towards compensating us for the loss of the time and inconvenience. I now happily await the next 3 hour delay!!

Dr Pilkington
