Compare caravan buyers using a consistent vehicle description, a clear offer and agreed checks, payment and collection arrangements.
Choose a buyer around the sale you need
Think about the time you can give to viewings, when the caravan needs to leave and how you want to communicate. A direct enquiry and a private advertisement involve different work for the seller. Compare the proposed arrangements with your own priorities rather than judging only an initial figure.
Make competing offers comparable
Use the same photos, condition notes and included equipment list with each buyer. Check whether figures are estimates or subject to inspection, whether collection is included and what charges or conditions apply. Ask for any change to be explained before making a decision.
Questions to settle before saying yes
A clear agreement helps the sale progress with fewer uncertainties.
- Who is buying and who will attend any appointment?
- What amount is agreed and which checks remain?
- What equipment, keys and documents are included?
- How will payment and collection be arranged?
Caravan details that help the assessment
The exact model, layout and present condition are more useful than a broad description such as good for its age. Describe the living space and exterior, include known faults and explain which records and accessories are available.
- Make, model, year or approximate age, berth and layout.
- Damp history, floor condition, panel damage and any previous repairs.
- Service records, available CRiS details, keys and ownership information.
- Motor mover, awning, heating, appliances and other equipment included.
Home, pitch or storage: explain collection access
We welcome vehicle enquiries from owners across the UK. Give the postcode where the vehicle is actually kept and explain any travel or access considerations. Collection availability, timing and any charges must be confirmed for the particular vehicle and location.
- At home: mention gates, parking restrictions and space to approach and move the vehicle.
- At a storage site or pitch: check opening hours, visitor requirements and whether you must attend.
- Tell us about missing keys, locks, flat batteries or any known reason the vehicle cannot move.
- Photograph access from a safe position; do not move an unsafe vehicle or climb onto a roof for pictures.
What to confirm before handing over your caravan
Keep the valuation, any inspection findings and the agreed sale arrangements together. A photo based estimate, an appointment and a completed purchase are different stages. Ask for any change to an offer to be explained before deciding whether to proceed.
- Confirm the agreed amount, what is included and whether any checks remain outstanding.
- Agree the payment method and collection arrangements, including any charges, before accepting.
- Check payment through your own account where a bank transfer is used before releasing the vehicle or keys.
- Keep a written record of the handover and the documents supplied.
