After an auction purchase, a clear handover starts with the details you hold and the requirements the relevant seller or auction gives you. This guide helps you prepare those details before arranging the next movement.

After a purchase: gather the information first

Keep the auction or purchase reference, vehicle description, collection address, destination address, and the release information supplied to you together. Include the vehicle's known running condition, keys and documents you hold, and the names and contact details needed to coordinate collection or delivery.

It is also useful to note access at both ends. Explain any narrow entrance, height restriction, restricted parking, or other site detail that could affect how a vehicle is collected or delivered.

Questions to resolve before arranging collection

Check what the seller or auction requires before a vehicle can be released. Ask which reference or documents the buyer needs to provide, who can confirm collection arrangements, and what the collection and destination sites need to know in advance.

If the vehicle has a known access or movement constraint, record what you know rather than assume a particular approach. That gives everyone a clear basis for discussing the journey.

From preparation to an enquiry

Once you have the details together, see our auction delivery service to discuss the movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with the purchase or lot reference, vehicle details, the collection location, release information supplied to you, the destination, keys, contacts, and access information at both ends.

Ask the relevant party what information, documents, reference, or arrangement they require before a vehicle can be released. Their requirements can vary, so confirm them directly.

Describe the known condition, access, and any movement constraint when you enquire. Do not assume that a particular method is suitable without discussing the specific vehicle and locations.
