State the actual deadline and access arrangements so valuation, inspection, payment and collection can be discussed separately.
Explain the deadline behind the sale
Give the date that matters and say whether it is the payment date, the removal date or both. If access ends before your storage agreement does, include that detail. A complete picture helps establish whether the proposed arrangements meet your needs.
- Give the postcode where the vehicle is physically kept.
- Say when you or another authorised person can attend.
- Mention opening hours or notice required by a storage operator.
Keep the stages of a fast sale clear
A reply to your message does not mean an inspection or collection is booked. The vehicle must be assessed, an offer discussed and the payment and collection arrangements confirmed. Do not cancel storage or other plans based only on submitting the enquiry.
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.
Your caravan location and access in Ifield
If your caravan is kept in Ifield, provide its actual postcode and access details. The collection address may be different from your home address. Collection availability, timing and any charges must be confirmed for the vehicle and location. If it is stored closer to Crawley, Horley, Reigate or Redhill, tell us that location in your enquiry.
- 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.
