What a great idea for the builders and sales people. You pay lots of money just for a weeks accommodation every year. Then you have to pay your share of the annual costs. Usually the annual costs are the same as just renting an apartment off someone else for a week, so why would you pay thousands of pounds to do this? You could end up next to the family from hell who have the apartment next to you. What happens if the airline that offers cheap flights to Tenerife that you relies on from your local airport stops flying to Tenerife or you can’t make it one year for your timeshare date? You can swap your timeshare but you can also just book somewhere different and still have saved thousands of pounds on your week in the sun!
Get a cheap flight to Tenerife book up accommodation yourself and if you like it do it again as often as you want. If you don’t get a cheap flight somewhere else don’t buy a timeshare.
