DOCUMENTATION
Do you have all the necessary paperwork to prove you are the legal owner, have the required proof of VAT status and paperwork to show her compliance with current legislation? We will check over your paperwork before she goes on the market to ensure that at the time of sale there are no legal hiccups.
PRESENTATION
The impression that your boat makes on potential buyers in the first 5 minutes on board will dictate if they will make an acceptable offer or not. It is vital that she is clean and tidy, both inside and out, to maximise the possibility of an asking price bid. We will advise you on presentation when we have been on board to assist you in this regard.
ASKING PRICE
Ask too much for your boat in this ever-changing market is a guaranteed way to prevent her sale! On inspection and confirmation of her inventory we will advise you on the correct price to ask for your boat. This will be based on over 90 years of broking experience, hard data on similar boats sold recently and our professional feel on the current state of the market.
LOCATION
Buyers have a huge choice of similar boats on the market available to inspect. It is therefore vital that yours is available to be viewed conveniently. Boats on remote moorings requiring a buyer to risk time and effort to view in isolation will naturally attract far fewer viewings than boats located at our offices. We offer specific Sales Areas ashore at each of our offices plus our annual autumn Used Boat Shows achieve huge sales volumes.
MARKETING
We will advertise your boat physically at our offices, widely over the web and to buyers registered with us who are after your type of boat or similar. If somebody is in the market for your boat then they will know all about her through our proven marketing strategies.
NEGOTIATION
We are both the “estate agent” and “lawyer” working on your behalf to secure her sale at the best possible terms. We have many years experience in this specialised market and have seen every sale scenario numerous times. Our professional Brokers will guide you through this complex and specialised process depending on individual circumstances.
