Travel & Leisure Group, timeshare brokerage in Europe

Travel & Leisure Group presents itself as the oldest timeshare brokerage in Europe and claims over 30 years of experience in the intermediation of buying, selling and renting holiday weeks and points. The company defines itself as a timeshare broker that helps owners across Europe resell their rights and helps buyers acquire them on the secondary market.

Its team is multilingual and, according to its own description, works to find buyers for timeshare properties across the continent. The company maintains that its volume and track record place it at the centre of the European timeshare resale market.

Sales, purchase and rental services

The activity is organised into three main areas:

• Sales: owners can request a free valuation and list their week or unit. The company mentions a money-back guarantee for sellers.
• Purchase: a catalogue of resale properties, with information on the operational procedure and the advantages of buying on the secondary market.
• Rental: rental of own and third-party weeks, with specific sections for Marriott, Anfi, Hilton Grand Vacations, Pestana and UK rentals.

It also offers fractional ownership services linked to Marriott 47 Park Street, Club La Costa and Diamond Resorts, as well as information on transfer of ownership.
