Know who is buying, keep the terms in writing and verify the agreed payment before releasing the vehicle.
Keep the buyer and appointment details clear
Use the contact details published on this website and keep a record of the person handling the enquiry. Before an appointment, establish who is attending and what they will be checking. If a message changes the arrangement unexpectedly, confirm it through the contact route you already know.
Record the essentials of the agreement
Write down the agreed amount, included equipment, any remaining checks and the payment and collection arrangements. Check your own account if a bank transfer is used. Keep the handover record with the sale documents so there is a clear record of what was supplied.
- Ask for an explanation of any offer change.
- Confirm who can authorise the sale.
- Make sure the handover matches the agreed terms.
Touring caravan details that help the assessment
Alongside the body and living space, describe the parts used for movement and the equipment supplied. This is particularly useful when the caravan has spent a long time on one pitch or in storage.
- Make, model, year, berth, layout, single or twin axle and available model plate details.
- Damp history, soft flooring, panel damage and service reports.
- Known condition of tyres, hitch, brakes, road lights and motor mover.
- Awning, battery, security devices, keys and available CRiS or ownership records.

- 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.

What to confirm before handing over your touring caravan

- 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.
