Buying a Brokerage Boat
1
Speak to us and we will do our best to help you figure out the type of boat that is most suitable for you.
2
Following your initial enquiry we will answer any questions that you may have and provide any additional information that you might need – including photos of specific areas of interest, confirmation of specific details etc.
3
Once you have decided that the boat is right for you, you can either travel to view the boat or make an offer right away. All offers submitted at this stage are subject to viewing and satisfactory completion of a sea trail and/or an independent condition survey.
4
We submit all offers in writing to the seller of the boat. We will work with both the seller and purchaser to conclude the best deal that is agreeable to both parties.
5
Once a deal is agreed we will complete a Contract of Sale, to be signed by both the seller and the buyer and we will request a deposit payment. Deposits are protected and held in our dedicated client account. In all cases where the buyer has paid a deposit prior to physically seeing the boat or where stipulated that the offer is subject to survey and/or sea trial, the deposit amount is fully refundable. If the purchaser has agreed to cover lift-in costs etc or requested additional work to be carried out to the boat, these amounts are non-refundable.
6
Once a deal has been agreed and deposit received the boat will be made available to you for inspection, sea trial and, if desired, a condition survey to be carried out by a professional surveyor. Following the outcome of this stage the sale is normally confirmed and a completion date set. In some cases if the sea trial or survey raises unknown problems the sale price can be re-negotiated accordingly or the sale can be abandoned if the buyer so wishes. In such instances any deposits paid are refundable.
7
On or prior to the stipulated completion date the balance of the purchase price will be paid into our client account. Once we are in receipt of cleared funds ownership in the boat is transferred to the purchaser and the relevant paperwork is issued.
8
After completion of the sale we can work with you to arrange for delivery of the boat to your home berth. You can of course also arrange to collect the boat yourself from our premises.

All that remains to do is enjoy your boat with family and friends!
