Confirm the actual payment method, agreed amount and handover conditions as part of a cash buying enquiry.
Ask how the agreed amount will be paid
The phrase cash buyer is often used when looking for an outright sale. It does not by itself establish physical cash, a transfer method or immediate payment. Ask which method is proposed, when it will be made and what needs to be completed first.
Make payment part of a clear handover record
Keep the agreed amount, included equipment and vehicle details together. Confirm any outstanding checks and collection arrangements. Where a bank transfer is used, check receipt directly in your own account before handing over the vehicle, keys or documents.
- Clarify any collection charges before accepting.
- Keep a record of what documents and keys are supplied.
- Confirm changes through the contact details you already know.
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 a storage site or pitch: check opening hours, visitor requirements and whether you must attend.

- 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.
