You can either pay your deposit before the sale at the cashier’s office or immediately following a successful bid at the rostrum in the auction hall. The deposit will be £500 or 20% of the hammer price, whichever is greater. Deposits must be paid in cash or by Maestro or Visa debit card.

There are a variety of ways to pay the balance of the agreed price and buyer’s fee. We make this simple with a range of payment options:

Because we act as an agent for the seller, we are obliged to notify the DVLA of any change of ownership or keeper and to provide new name and address details when we sell a vehicle.

Therefore, when you have completed your purchase, we will update the V5C registration document before we hand over the vehicle to you. We then forward the relevant part of the V5C registration document to the DVLA at Swansea on your behalf.

The DVLA will send you a new V5C registration document with your details.

If you are a private buyer or do not hold a MyBCA card, we will charge you a fee of £26 (incl VAT) for this service.

Having arranged payment and registration documents for your new vehicle you are requested to remove it. As you can imagine, we need to keep things moving at our auction centres to make sure we always have fresh stock for our customers. Therefore unless your payment is in the process of clearing you must pay for and remove your new vehicle within 24 hours of buying it.
