Okay, so you're ready to make an offer on a boat. Here are some friendly suggestions for how to go about it.
Consider requiring a satisfactory seal trial. If there are costs associated with that, such as launching the boat, the buyer pays. But this often is a wise investment. The same holds true for hiring a marine surveyor. It's like a property appraisal. If needed repairs are discovered, the cost can be built into a renegotiated purchase price. Or you can back out with no penalty.
But the biggest reason to have a survey done is price assurance. The survey gauges the real, current market value of the boat. If you are taking out a loan, lenders often assign the surveyor. World Yachts also can refer you to surveyors who are in good standing with both lenders and insurers.
Working with your surveyer, we will set a reasonable, pragmatic target price. Your target price will be the basis for expert negotiations on your behalf.
After an Accepted Offer
Your World Yachts broker will outline the terms of the sale in writing. That includes spelling out your obligations, and those of the seller, along with precisely how and when these obligations are to be fulfilled. It is a legally binding contract of each party's intentions.
World Yachts will complete all closings to the contract, including disbursement of trust funds, title transfer and registrations. Taking possession of the boat will be hassle-free, string-fee and bullet-proof. The terms will be made concrete, with no loose ends, solidly protecting your interests.
