Cherished Registration

[bills1]

Whats the procedure for buying a registration.
I want to ring up for one that is privatly advertised, what is the procedure , what should I ask for re documents ect, what DVLA forms are needed.

Is there anything I need to beware of or should make sure of before money changes hands.

Help please

Depends on the value of the number and whether it is on a car or retention certificate. If its on retention you have to sign a section of the Doc and return it to DVLA with £25 to have your name entered. They then return it to the original guy to pass on to you. If you pay him first, there is always the possibility he may not send it to you, but simply reapply for another name change and you have nothing. If its on a car it costs £80 and both sets of Docs go to DVLA for the transfer. With expensive numbers I use my Solicitor. I lodge the money with my solicitor who agrees with the sellers solicitor that when the transfer is complete the money will be transferred to them. As they would both be in breach of Law Society rules if it cocked up, it is the safest way to buy expensive numbers from strangers. If you know your solicitor, the cost is usually two beers or thereabouts !!
