Did Andrew list it for you? You can post it in the Craig owners group on the HOA website and also on the HGVC resale group

I have a form to fill out to our it up for sale again. Im thinking I have to do that before ti can put it on the owners website? I have it up for sale for few years for £500 no takers at all would really like rid of it.
 
I am not sure about the form but here is the page that Andrew uses to sell. Most of these are from other owners, https://www.craigendarroch.com/sales/

Here is the internal owners page to sell, https://www.craigendarroch.co.uk/sale.htm#buy . Here is the note about how to add your week to the list, Please send an email to contact@craigendarroch.co.uk to specify the week(s) you have available to sell, together with other relevant information . This is a owner to owner sales page.

I see another Ballater for sell on that page. I am not sure who all even knows about this page so not sure how many people see it but there is also a section for people looking to buy versus selling.

Here is the HGVC resale FB group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047361228780071 . You can add a post with the info about the week and the cost.

If it were me though, I would work through Andrew. They take a percent, like 20% or so, but they also do all the paperwork and if a HGV person buys, then the points are elite qualifying so that is a plus for the buyer...if they want that.

Thanks for listing these. I’ve made all my purchases through Andrew for the Elite Premier status, but now that I’ve obtained that, it really doesn’t matter where the next deed comes from. Though you can’t beat the closing fees working with Craigendarroch!

What are the details of your week? Bedrooms/number of points conversion. I believe that’s not a platinum week which makes it a little less desirable but I feel £500 is VERY reasonable…it’s just a matter of getting it advertised to the right groups of people.

These are prior posts from last year, on a similar discussion...

Thanks for this update.
HGVC manages several properties that they don't own.

ScottishTSOwner previously reported that he had signed the surrender agreement back in December but as February 1st, he still hadn't received documents to notarize from HGVC Portfolio Services.

I believe he was able to sell and/or giveaway several HGVC weeks except for the Lodges at Craigendarroch weeks (link) and a Parc Soleil week in Orlando (link) which are listed on TUG's Free Timeshare Forum.

Thanks I think that’s going to be my plan

I got a response re hilton craigendarroch. Looks like I can’t hand my deed back but read on and you will see some can.
My question is I keep reading about points etc. is there a club you can join to swap your timeshare or bank timeshare for points to use elsewhere? I have heard of rci is there a Hilton equivalent and is this any good in Europe. I’ve been told there’s going to be an announcement tevdiamond resorts basically looking for some flexibility there swap or bank points to use elsewhere.

Here’s response I got ….
I refer to your recent enquiry regarding the potential to relinquish your ownership of the above and I can advise you that Hilton Grand Vacations in Scotland has voluntarily introduced a deed back policy to assist Owners who find themselves with a change in their personal circumstances.

This is not something that your Owners Club has arranged and is being offered by Hilton Grand Vacations on a no obligation basis.

The conditions which need to prevail to allow Hilton Grand Vacations to consider taking the week back into ownership are:

1. In the event of death of a spouse/joint owner
2. Should a beneficiary decide they do not wish to inherit
3. In the case of bankruptcy of the sole or joint owner
4. In the event that a sole or joint owner is unable to travel to their home resort due to long term illness – we would require a letter from your GP/Consultant confirming you are unable to travel due to ill health

In all cases the maintenance fees payable to your Owners Club for the week in question must be fully up to date.


Due to the high level of in interest in this policy and the potential financial liability attached to it, Hilton Grand Vacations has chosen at this time to limit the number of weeks that it will take back in any year to 25. In addition to this there is a timeframe in which all such requests will be considered which is between 1 April and 30September.


If you feel you meet these condition please contact Sales Administration at Hilton Grand Vacations on the address below either by emailhgvcsalesadmin@hgv.com or post once the 2024 window reopens so we can send out the relevant forms for completion, there is always the option of you selling the lodge privately all we ask is that if you do sell it privately that you contact this office so we can send out the relevant details for a private transfer of ownership, in the meantime whilst your lodge is on our resale listing our sales team will do their utmost best to acquire a sale for you, if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

I would recommend some of the Hilton Grand Vacation Owners or Resale Owners Facebook Groups.
