Private caravan sale agreement

Record the buyer, seller, exact caravan description, agreed price and physical handover. Compare serial numbers, the item and the available ownership or registration records before signing.

Check the chassis or VIN, weight, coupling, brakes, tyres, moisture, gas, electrical, heating, water and toilet systems, appliances, keys and included equipment.

Record available ownership and registration evidence without assuming a V5C exists. Complete any vehicle, trailer-registration, tax, insurance, gas-safety or export steps separately.

This private agreement records the facts and promises reviewed by the parties. It does not notify an authority, prove ownership in every case or replace an official form, tax, insurance, registry or registration step.

FAQ

What is a private sale agreement?+

It is a record of the parties, item, condition, price, payment and handover terms agreed in a private transaction.

Does the agreement transfer legal ownership?+

It records the parties’ agreement but does not by itself notify an authority, prove title in every case or replace the official process for the item.

Does Signeret notify DVLA or DVA?+

No. The seller and buyer must complete the current DVLA or DVA process themselves when it applies.

What should I do with the V5C?+

Check that the details match the vehicle and follow the current official instructions for the sale. A V5C is not proof of ownership.
