The buying process at Great Haywood Boat Sales.

Viewing a boat

When you see a boat you like either on our website or in one of our magazine adverts then call us to arrange an accompanied viewing of the vessel at a date and time that is convenient for you. We will also answer any questions that you may have regarding the vessel.

You want to buy the boat

We take a minimum of a £1000.00 deposit and we then take the boat off sale. If you require a survey to be carried out then we will arrange for this to be done at one of the marinas. (We can supply you with a list of independant surveyors)

Sales contract

Once the survey has been carried out and any issues addressed then we will draw up the sales contract for you and the current owner to sign. This specifies the conditions of the sale and how,  where and when the balance of the purchase price has to be paid. Similar in process to the exchange of contracts in a property sale

Final payment

Final payments can be paid by cheque or electronic transfer preferably CHAPS which ensures cleared funds on the same day or Internet Banking if enough time is allowed for the transfer to take place before completion day. When the funds have cleared into our client account we will arrange a date and time to hand over your new boat.

Congratulations the boat is now yours and you can enjoy many hours cruising the inland waterways.
