Disclaimer: We act as mediators to connect sellers and buyers while ensuring compliance with UK law. However, we do not guarantee the completion of transactions or the condition of vehicles. Buyers and sellers engage in transactions independently, and all due diligence, including vehicle verification, is the buyer’s responsibility. By using our platform, buyers agree to fulfill their financial obligations, including commission payments. Failure to comply with agreed terms may result in legal action as per UK regulations.
How it works for Sellers – Car For Cash Option
- The seller fills out the vehicle evaluation form and waits to be contacted.
- We validate the provided details and seek a buyer willing to match or make an offer on the desired price.
- Once we contact the seller, we communicate the final price.
- If the seller accepts, we initiate the ownership validation process, requiring the seller to provide proof of ownership.
- Upon successful validation, we share the seller’s details with the buyer, who will then proceed with the sale independently.
- The buyer must contact the seller within three days, inspect the vehicle, and complete the payment (cash or bank transfer) before collecting the vehicle.
- If the buyer finds discrepancies in the vehicle’s condition that were not disclosed by the seller, they can either renegotiate the price or refuse the transaction.
- If the seller does not agree with the final offer, they can decline the sale without any obligation.
How it works for Sellers – Car For Auction Option
- If the seller does not accept the Car For Cash offer or opts directly for an auction, we prepare the listing for our auction platform.
- The auction is open exclusively to verified buyers and runs for three days.
- At the end of the auction, we inform the seller of the highest bid.
- The seller can verify this information and decide whether to proceed.
- If the seller accepts the bid, we provide their details to the buyer.
- The buyer has three days to finalize the transaction.
- If the vehicle does not match the initial listing, the buyer can renegotiate or decline the purchase.
- The seller is under no obligation to sell if they do not agree with the revised offer.
How it works for Buyers
- Buyers who participate in Car For Cash deals submit their final offer.
- If the seller accepts, we share the contact details, and they arrange the transaction independently.
- Buyers interested in auctions can register for free and gain access to listed vehicles.
- Auction participants bid over a set period. If the reserve price is not met, the highest bid is presented to the seller for consideration.
- The buyer must complete the transaction within three days if they win the auction and the vehicle matches its description.
- If the vehicle does not match its description, the buyer may renegotiate or decline the purchase.
- The winning buyer must pay the agreed commission after taking possession of the vehicle.
How it works for OFFERUPBID as Mediators
- Both sellers and buyers must comply with UK laws.
- The buyer must pay the agreed amount before collecting the vehicle.
- Buyers must conduct a full HPI check before purchase to verify the vehicle’s history, including any salvage categories, stolen status, outstanding finance, ownership, and the presence of a V5 logbook.
- We are not responsible for any vehicle-related issues.
- Buyers must pay the agreed commission immediately after acquiring the vehicle.
- If so, a buyer fails to comply with the terms and conditions, we will notify the authorities.
- Commission recovery will be pursued legally through court proceedings as outlined here: GOV.UK Court Claim for money.
