New UK COVID-19 laws are set to introduce a £5,000 fine for people who travel abroad on holiday. The legislation covering COVID restrictions includes a ban on leaving the UK without a reasonable excuse—anyone who breaks the rule can be issued with a penalty.
With further COVID variants being identified, restrictions continue to change. Like everyone else, we’re hoping the Government’s roadmap stays on track and the vaccine programme keeps progress moving in the right direction—but the next steps will depend on the latest data.
As March draws to a close, the outlook for many timeshare owners is starting to feel uncomfortably similar to 2020. Many owners may need to accept that using their timeshare in 2021 could be just as difficult as last year, while still facing an upcoming maintenance bill. Some resorts are reporting limited availability, and in some cases owners may have to wait up to two more years to secure even one week.
The pandemic, along with a major influx of Spanish timeshare lawsuits, has also put pressure on timeshare companies. Club La Costa filed for liquidation on certain companies used for sales in late 2020, and Silverpoint also decided to close their doors in 2020. It remains to be seen what will happen next.
Malaga based M1 Legal alone have now filed 1,387 dispute cases into the Spanish courts for timeshare malpractice, valued at £31.5 million, with the majority of cases being pursued against Club La Costa, Silverpoint, Anfi and Diamond Resorts.
