How does the transfer process work once a buyer has been found?
If you agree to the proposed amount, then the transfer process would commence immediately and the entire period constitutes the following stages:
(i) Proof of ownership required. It is essential that you are able to prove ownership rights to the registration number. In cases where you do not have the rights you must, in addition, demonstrate that you are acting with the full consent of the individual with the ownership rights. You will need to provide us with a photocopy or scan of one of the following: a registration document (v5 or logbook), a certificate of entitlement (v750) or a retention certificate (v778), whichever is applicable.
(ii) Buyer makes payment. Full payment is secured for you. We will hold the funds until the transfer process successfully completes.
(iii) You receive a contract. You will be sent a contract along with a formal offer. Before we can continue with the transfer you must agree to the terms and conditions and sign and return the contract along with all the necessary documents.
(iv) Documents received and processed. When both the buyer’s and your documents are received, we will liase with the DVLA to complete the transfer and if applicable arrange for the re-registration of your vehicle. In time you will receive any replacement documents.
(v) You get paid! As soon as we have official confirmation from the DVLA that the transfer process is complete we will dispatch your cheque.
The time it takes to complete the whole process can vary between two and six weeks. Please note that we do aim to safely complete the transfer as soon as possible.
