Bill Of Sale FAQ United Kingdom
A bank draft is a cheque written by one bank on its account with another bank. It is an extremely secure method of transferring funds.
It is a cheque for which payment is guaranteed by the bank. A certified cheque shows that there are sufficient funds in the account to meet the amount for which the cheque was drawn. A certified cheque is less secure than a bank draft but more secure than a normal personal cheque.
The consideration is the value that the Purchaser transfers to the Seller in exchange for the goods being sold to the Purchaser. In most sales transactions, the consideration takes the form of money. A contract for transfer of goods or property may not be valid if no consideration is given. If you wish to transfer property for no consideration then you should consider using a quitclaim deed instead of a bill of sale or sales agreement.
The location of the property is the jurisdiction where the property is situated at the time of the sale.
A Notary Public is a state-appointed official who is authorized to authenticate certain legal documents, such as declarations, affidavits, acknowledgments, deeds, mortgages, and other contracts. Most A solicitors are a Notary Public for their local jurisdiction.
The Price is the total monetary value that the parties have agreed the goods being sold are worth. Although assessed in terms of money, the Price does not need to be paid to the Seller in cash. Other forms of payment are also available.

The Odometer Reading is the instrument display on the vehicle's dashboard that shows the total number of miles or kilometers that the car has traveled.
The VIN is a number that is assigned to every vehicle and can contain both letters and numbers. VINs are used in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, the United States, Canada and other countries. Vehicles that have been manufactured since 1980 will contain a VIN number that is 17 characters long. The VIN can be used to determine information about a vehicle, such as the: country and year of production, manufacturer, style, make, model, engine type, etc. It is usually located in the door frame of the front doors, on the engine, around the steering wheel, or on the dash near the window. No two vehicles in the world have the same VIN number, so the VIN number clearly distinguishes one vehicle from all other vehicles.
This phrase means that the odometer has reached its maximum number and has now restarted counting the mileage from zero. For example, if the odometer only contains 6 digits, then the mechanical limit would be 999,999, after which the odometer would begin counting at 000,000. This piece of information is important to prospective Purchasers because if the odometer has exceeded its mechanical limit, then the odometer reading does not reflect the true number of miles/kilometers that the car has traveled.

Any items listed as features of the boat which are not expressly described as being non-functioning will be assumed to be in working order. If you list a feature but fail to state that it is non-functioning, you may face liability for that omission.
Aircrafts over a certain weight are required to be registered with a national aviation authority.
