Compare the work involved in each selling route and give a complete description so the next step can be assessed without avoidable gaps.
Consider the work involved in each selling route
Advertising privately means preparing a listing, answering buyers and arranging viewings. A direct buying enquiry focuses on an assessment and a proposed sale arrangement. Neither route has a universal completion time; your vehicle, availability and the agreed checks all matter.
Remove the gaps that lead to extra questions
Send the photos and key details together, mention issues at the beginning and give a number where you can be reached. If you need to consult another owner before agreeing a sale, explain that early. Clear information helps both parties decide whether to proceed.
- Give a realistic window for access and handover.
- Explain any deadline that affects the sale.
- Ask which checks remain before an appointment can be agreed.
Describe the campervan conversion and base van
Campervans vary in both the base vehicle and the conversion. Explain who carried out the conversion if known, the sleeping and seating arrangement and what records are available. Include modifications accurately without assuming that recent equipment proves the whole conversion is in good condition.
- Base van make, model, year, mileage, MOT status and service history.
- Conversion details, available records, sleeping layout and travel seats.
- Pop top or high top condition, roof canvas, seals, cupboards and flooring.
- Leisure battery, charging, heating, water, cooking equipment and known faults.
Your campervan location and access in Lyme Regis
If your campervan is kept in Lyme Regis, 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 Bridport, Sidmouth, Taunton or Weymouth, 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 campervan
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.
