I'm in the process of buying a wide beam through a broker, I've asked to see copies of the original bill of sales along with the VAT exemption certificate, RCD compliance certification and owner manual.
I've been informed I'll receive a bill of sale for my purchase from the brokerage BUT they will keep the original bill of sale on archive, which they say is the norm.
Having read numerous articles about the importance of a boats paper trail - it seems counter-intuitive to me that they should hold on the the original bill of sale.
Is this usual?
Thanks
Dave
