The David Lloyd Fractional Model

Shared ownership has been available to people for many years, whether it be family members purchasing a property together, or a group of friends who buy a holiday home and simply share the weeks between them. David Lloyd Resorts offers you the same ownership and flexibility but with a whole host of unrivalled facilities managed by one of the world's leading brand names.
Your fraction entitles you to 4 weeks usage each year. These weeks include 2 peak weeks, fixed together, at a set time in the calendar year. The location where you fix your peak weeks determines where your ownership is set. You will then have 2 additional floating weeks to be taken at any low peak period within the David Lloyd Resorts.
In addition to four weeks holiday every year in a beautiful David Lloyd Resort, your property will also be fully managed and maintained on your behalf. Plus, if you love to travel, you also have the option of exchanging your holiday destination with over 2,400 other resorts around the world through the Interval Gold membership.
If you love to spend your Christmas or New Year holidays abroad, there is also an option to purchase our super peak period, which is set in two week blocks that include either the Christmas or the New Year holiday period each year.
After 10 years the property will be sold and any increase in the value of the property (less any sales commissions) will be shared between the owners and DLR.

An Introduction to Fractional Ownership

Fractional ownership is based around the concept of shared ownership; in essence, you share the property with a number of other owners, giving you ownership rights in the property. In simple terms, you buy a 'fraction' of the property, or a 'share' of the asset, and an entitlement to use it for the corresponding fraction of time.
The property is located in a prime resort location and combines the convenience and comfort of owning your own luxury holiday home with benefits normally associated with a 5 star hotel.
What fundamentally differentiates fractional ownership from timeshare is theelement of true ownership of the underlying assets.

Welcome from David Lloyd

When I launched my first tennis and fitness club in the early eighties, some thought it exclusive and that the concept would have limited appeal. 20 years on and a network of clubs throughout the UK, Continental Europe and Australia, illustrate that people are quick to recognise a great idea.
Welcome to a new type of David Lloyd experience - the David Lloyd Resorts. This is a way to enjoy my legendary facilities and services abroad. Our resorts offer you a chance to holiday in fully managed 5 star properties in some fantastic worldwide destinations. By becoming a shared owner in a David Lloyd Resort you will enjoy all the exclusivity of staying at a private home, but without the running costs associated with owning a property abroad independently.
It guarantees that each year, you will arrive at a David Lloyd Resort with nothing on your mind other than relaxing and enjoying the spectacular facilities.
David Lloyd Resorts are simply the most cost effective and secure way to own and enjoy property abroad. But that's not where the benefits end. The David Lloyd name ensures the resorts are also complemented by outstanding residents' leisure facilities, including restaurants, pools, fitness, golf, tennis and spa facilities. You can even exchange your holiday with over 2,400 other leading resorts around the world.
I have invested my own money in the belief that the way we choose to spend our vacation time and own overseas property is about to change radically. My new journey is only just beginning, but what an exciting one it will be.
Thank you for enquiring about shared ownership with David Lloyd Resorts.
