Decide what you are selling and when, then request a direct offer with a clear list of included items.
Decide what is included before asking for an offer
Check cupboards and lockers for personal belongings and note the equipment you plan to retain. If an awning, portable appliance or other accessory appears in a photo, state whether it is part of the sale. A clear list makes the offer easier to discuss.
- Explain how long the vehicle has been unused.
- List keys, remotes and documents available.
- State your preferred timing without assuming a booking has been made.
Discuss payment as part of the offer
A cash sale enquiry describes your intention to sell the vehicle outright. Confirm the actual payment method and timing with the buyer rather than assuming physical cash or immediate payment. Keep those arrangements with the written offer and handover details.
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 Etchingham
If your caravan is kept in Etchingham, 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 Hawkhurst, East Sussex, Tunbridge Wells or Heathfield, 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.
