How to sell a Club La Costa membership
You can sell a Club La Costa (CLC World) membership privately, but the buyer has to apply and meet CLC's qualification standard. CLC's transfer process starts with seller and buyer signing the Transfer Agreement on the back of the membership certificate, and if the buyer is rejected, you remain a member with the same liabilities. Club La Costa says it offers no resale service and does not publish a transfer fee; Member Services advises the administration costs. Owners report that points members have been able to leave the club by notifying CLC.

What you are selling
Club La Costa owners hold legacy weeks, vacation club points or fractional ownership. An owner reported in 2021 that these sit in separate companies, and that the company placed into administration was the sales and marketing arm; according to a law firm summarising the liquidators' January 2026 report, Club La Costa (UK) Plc entered administration in November 2020 and later liquidation. Confirm the current transfer process directly with the club before you agree a sale.
Owners report that CLC stopped selling points around 2016 and switched to fractional ownership. In October 2021, twelve CLC World resorts in Spain, the Canary Islands, Turkey, the UK and Austria were due to take Wyndham and Ramada brand names; owners described this as a hotel branding arrangement rather than a change to the CLC timeshare clubs.
How a points or weeks transfer works
Club La Costa's transfer-of-ownership flowchart starts with the seller and then the buyer signing the Transfer Agreement on the back of the membership certificate and sending it to CLC World Member Services. Member Services then sends a transfer information pack and advises the administration costs, which the seller and buyer pay.
The buyer returns proof of identity, address verification, proof of income, proof of property ownership, a Members' Declaration and an Information Statement, and must meet CLC's qualification standard. If the application is approved, the buyer receives a Membership Certificate and a Points Rights Certificate and your membership liabilities end; if it is rejected, you remain a member with the same liabilities.
Selling fractional ownership (FPOC)
The 2014 Fractional Property Owners Club rules require you to send the vendor a Transfer Notice by registered post naming the buyer, the price and the conditions. The vendor has eight days to say whether it will buy; if it declines, you have three months to sell to that buyer at no less than the notified price.
You also need the manager's written confirmation that no management charges or other liabilities are outstanding, and the endorsed Certificate of Transfer must reach the manager within 21 days of the buyer signing it, otherwise you keep all rights and liabilities. Fractional rights cannot be mortgaged, and Cession Points earned by ceding a separate week are personal and cannot be sold. The fractional project has a built-in end: the trustee sells each property on its Sale Date and distributes the proceeds, with the project ending on 31 December 2040 or another date set under the rules.
Your options
- Sell privately. Advertise the membership, find a buyer who will pass CLC's checks and complete the transfer through Member Services. The sale price is yours.
- Leave the points system. An owner reported in 2021 that points members could leave simply by notifying CLC by September, and a forum poster wrote in April 2024 that points members who contact Club La Costa directly can walk away at no cost, although any loan taken out for the purchase still has to be repaid.
- Keep a fractional ownership to its end. The trustee sells the fractional properties on their Sale Dates and distributes the proceeds, with the project due to end by 31 December 2040.
How the sale works, step by step
Confirm what you own
Check whether you hold points, a legacy week or fractional ownership, and find the membership or fractional rights certificate.
Check that nothing is owed
Make sure management charges and any loan are paid; for fractional ownership you need the manager's written confirmation that nothing is outstanding.
Advertise your membership
Publish a listing with the resort, the points or week, the annual charges and your asking price. On BidMyTimeshare.com buyers contact you directly, and you decide which offer to accept.
Sign the Transfer Agreement
Seller and then buyer sign the Transfer Agreement on the back of the membership certificate and send it to CLC World Member Services. For fractional ownership, send the Transfer Notice to the vendor by registered post first and wait for its eight-day answer.
Complete the buyer's application
Member Services sends the transfer pack and advises the administration costs; the buyer returns the identity, address, income and property ownership documents and the declarations.
Wait for approval
Once CLC approves the buyer, it issues the buyer's Membership Certificate and Points Rights Certificate, and your liabilities end. Keep copies of everything you signed.

Avoid resale and exit scams
The UK police fraud reporting service warns that fraudsters pose as resale companies with a buyer lined up and ask timeshare owners for an upfront 'introducer's' fee, sometimes posing as the buyer at the same time. It also warns of 'bonus holiday' offers in which owners pay an administration fee and are then pressured into an upgrade, sometimes believing that their current timeshare is being sold in part-exchange.
- A Club La Costa owner wrote in March 2025 that the firm they paid to end their contract only sent its own document saying they had exited, and that debt collectors later contacted them about the timeshare account: always get written confirmation from Club La Costa itself.
- Never agree to buy a new product so that your existing membership can be sold.
- Report suspected fraud to the UK police fraud reporting service or to the police in your country.
- On BidMyTimeshare.com you pay a one-time fee to publish your advertisement. We do not deal with buyers for you, take part in the sale or promise that your membership will sell.
