Buying through ABNB is simple and easy
- and we guide you throughout the process.

Your RESEARCH

Initially, check our website, updated weekly, and for your convenience register for an e-mail update of boats added or follow us on twitter at #ABNBbrokerage. When you see a boat you like on the website or in a magazine advert - download the brochure from the website, request a brochure via the registration form, or call us so that we can post you the full brochure: it's 4 pages packed with information, photos and a detailed line drawing of the boat. The photos are taken by us and show the boat in its current state - not when it was launched! Similarly the comprehensive written detail is the result of our careful inspection of each boat - we spend around four hours on board each craft in order to obtain the detail for our brochures.

Your VISIT

Should the brochure whet your appetite further, contact us to arrange to view the boat. Remember that while some boats are at Crick Wharf, we specialise in selling boats from their own moorings, so check on the brochure (or on the website) to gain a general idea of the area where the boat is moored. We will make an arrangement to view suitable to both you and the owner.

Your DECISION

If you then decide the boat is for you - call the office at Crick to discuss your desire to purchase, your means of funding the purchase and whether the decision is subject to survey or demo, for example. When agreement is reached you will be asked for a deposit of about 7% - this will take the boat off the market whilst things are sorted, such as demo, survey or finance. Your deposit is paid into a Client Account, is protected and fully refundable up until the point that you enter into a signed sale agreement (this is broadly similar in process to the exchange of contracts in a property sale). PLEASE NOTE: We will not accept a deposit from you if the purchase funds are being raised from the sale of a house or boat UNTIL you have exchanged signed contacts with a completion date.

The CONTRACT

After you have organised your means of payment for the boat and any issues raised from the surveyor demo addressed, you will be asked to sign a binding Sale Agreement contract. This specifies the conditions of the sale, when the balance of the purchase price has to be paid and how ownership transfer will take place. Final payments must be by electronic transfer such as CHAPS or Internet Banking into the nominated account - either the Vendor's account or our Client Account.

Your PAYMENT

When the funds have cleared into either the vendor's account or our Client Account (whichever is the nominated account), and the ownership transfer has been completed, you are the proud owner of your boat!
