I'm looking to purchase a boat privately and at a price that promises to be attractive, but there are alarm bells I don't know much about the boat yet no broker involved seller of one boat is in a big hurry (with a feasible excuse) I asked a random broker and "my" boatyard if they would act for me as purchaser, and they don't do that. The broker helpfully warned me to be very careful (!). I would have a survey, and I know I need the Bill of Sale... but I'm not sure I would know whether the paperwork was valid. I looked at and I see the warnings, > Ask for the Bill of Sale and recent invoices before anything else. Make sure there are no glitches. > The broker is interested in your money, first and foremost. Where money is involved, assume nothing. > I would rather make a private purchase where there is paperwork (licence invoices, the mooring invoice etc etc) all in the sellers name and at his address [...] get him to take you to his house to sort out the paperwork. > There are plenty of ways of showing 'ownership' evidence but a broker has no incentive to pursue them, [...] and the link to http://www.stolenboats.org.uk/Welcome.aspx and more warnings at https://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/topic/109215-sunken-narrow-boat/&do=findComment&comment=2572753 Also what would I need to know about VAT status? I'm guessing the RCD, to the extent it might apply, isn't going to protect me; but being an honest chap I would need to comply if one day I sell it on.

Many years ago when we went down the Rochdale 9 I had to pay someone money, in a hut as I remember near the top for the pleasure. I would like to know who would I have paid , when and why did they stop charging,? If anyone knows I would be very grateful.
