PURCHASER’S TERMS

Your guide to buying through us…

VIEWINGS

• Viewings are by appointment only.
• We strongly advise that you take your time to have a thorough look through the boat and its inventory to decide whether she is suitable.
• This is the most fundamental part of the buying process and you are welcome to come back and view the boat as many times as you wish.

DEPOSITS

• Once you have decided that you wish to purchase the boat and a price has been agreed, the next stage is to put down a 10% deposit to secure her.
• The deposit holds the boat for 10 days so that you can go ahead with an independent boat survey/demonstration/engine check by a qualified individual, safe in the knowledge that no one else can purchase her in the meantime.
• This deposit is fully refundable should any of these checks (carried out by a qualified and independent third party) show a fault with the boat.
• If you do not proceed with the purchase for reasons other than a defect with the boat (as found by a qualified and independent third party), your deposit will be refunded less a £250 administration charge (plus VAT).

SURVEYS & DEMONSTRATIONS

• All surveys & demonstrations are carried out only on receipt of a 10% deposit.
• The cost of the survey and/or engine check is payable by the purchaser, as well as any associated lifting/towing charges. Regardless of the outcome of these checks, the cost or returning the boat to its mooring or hardstanding is the responsibility of the purchaser.
• If you wish to have the boat demonstrated in the water this is free of charge up to 1 hour, although cranage charges both ways (if applicable) are payable by the purchaser at the normal Highway Marine rate regardless of the outcome.

PAYMENT

• If you are happy with the boat and wish to proceed, the remaining balance is then due.
• Once full payment for the boat has been made, no refund is possible.
• On receipt of full payment for the boat, she becomes the purchaser’s liability immediately, and should be insured accordingly.
• If you would like to take immediate ownership of the boat, payment needs to be made by either cash, bank transfer or debit card.
• If she is paid for by cheque, it will take 7 working days for the cheque to clear before we can release the boat on the 8^th working day.
• Once ownership has been transferred, any further cranage, storage or mooring fees are then payable by the new owner.

DISCLAIMER

• Any particulars given are intended to give a fair description of the vessel, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed. These particulars are supplied on the understanding that all negotiations shall be through Highway Marine Ltd who are acting as brokers for the vendor. The vendor is not selling in the course of a business unless otherwise stated. The prospective purchaser is strongly recommended to check the particulars, and where appropriate, at his own expense, to employ qualified independent agents to carry out a survey, and/or any mechanical and electrical checks.
