There is nothing like doing your own research BEFORE committing yourself to a purchase. It is suprising how many people step into the overseas property market without doing their homework and then they come a cropper. Always use a lawyer independent of the developer – and talk to as many other people as you can – those who have already bought, the locals, check tourist figures yourself, find out what development is being planned for the area – get a real feel for the place before you sign anything!

I share your concerns. I fully understand why the fractional industry distances itself from timeshare because the very word “timeshare” can vacate a room. However there is a considerable grey area between the two as you explain.

My interest is helping members to find like-minded partners to joint own property, and other assets. I reckon the ideal share is a quarter and I seek to ensure that partners spend time at the outset discussing the arrangement in great detail working through all the “what ifs” , before getting the sharing arrangement drawn up. Do this and you can have the ideal second home.

In private arrangements as in commercial timeshare and fractional ownership, the devil is in the detailed contracts.
