Staying Safe When Selling A Caravan Privately In Spain

Most people are comfortable when it comes to selling a caravan or mobile home in the UK, but what differs when it comes to selling a a caravan in Spain? The answer is ‘not much’. Owners assume that the process is vastly different – but it isn’t. As long as you follow some of our simple steps, a caravan sale in Spain should be a stress free and safe experience.

Prepare & protect your caravan paperwork

Buyers may ask to see caravan paperwork so it’s important you have everything in hand for viewings. This will differ for caravans sited on Campsites, but as a touring caravan, the questions asked will ultimately lead to seeing proof of ownership, service history and work manufacturer handbooks. It’s fine to show buyers the documents in person, but never send copies or let them take photographs of any paperwork.

Viewings of your caravan for sale

When a buyer arranges to view your caravan, ensure you get their details including their full name and telephone number. If you’re not comfortable dealing with a buyer face to face, ask a neighbour, friend or family member to be present when carrying out the viewing.

Beware of scammers

Unfortunately, the world we now live in means that you may encounter scammers trying to steal information. Or, even worse, take your caravan without your authorisation.

Genuine buyers will want to view the caravan before agreeing to purchase. If they don’t, you should ask yourself questions about how genuine they are.

When a buyer wants to arrange a viewing, don’t be afraid to ask for their full contact details – name, address, telephone number and proof of identity. Genuine buyers will have no issue with providing these details to you.

Selling Price

The caravan you have for sale in Spain is worth what it’s worth to you. Don’t be coerced into agreeing a price you’re not comfortable with, and if the sale doesn’t feel right be prepared to walk away.

If you’re unsure of what your caravan is worth for sale in Spain we have an appraisal service to take away the guess work and to ensure you’re getting the maximum value.

Payment

You will have your own way of wanting to carry out the sales process, but if you want to protect yourself, ensure you provide a full documented account of the deposit and full payment.

Never let the buyer take the caravan away, or sign over ownership until you have proof that the full funds have arrived with you. The most simple way to take a payment is by bank transfer. In addition, you should include a mutually agreed reference for the payment.
