Terms & Conditions For Sellers

  2. The Net payment, which is shown on your “selling permission form” is the full amount that will be returned to you upon completion of the transfer to the buyer’s vehicle or to a V778 retention document. (Except where you authorise Northumbria Numbers to accept a lower offer).
  3. Completion of transfer will be deemed to have taken place when Northumbria Numbers receives by post or fax a copy of the replacement V5 Registration Document for the donor vehicle showing the replacement mark allocated by the DVLA, Swansea. It is important that you do not dispose of the donor vehicle until this time as the “rights to the registration” number go with the vehicle.
