Selling vehicle from North to South

I've a vehicle for sale, a guy on his way from the South to Northern Ireland with cash in his pocket.

Due here in an hour and a half.

I need some short notice advice.

If he takes it, what's the procedure for V5C registration document.

I know if it's a UK sale, I give him new owners section and I send V5C off to Swansea with his details.

If I personally export it, I fill out the export section.

But has anyone here a definitive answer for the correct procedure?

As stated, time is of the essence

Give him the whole left hand side of the V5. Keep the purple? Section and fill it in, no need to post it unless there is problems.

Go straight to DVLA website and report it as sold. That's it.

Cheers Ally.

Purple bit seems to be for personal export only and the online transfer generates his address from a postcode only. So not sure it will work.

I've photocopied the V5C. But I know it's not the done thing to give it up, but it seems correct that it would help the buyer if he has the original.

He has to have it, or he cannot register it.

The purple bit works, I have done it hundreds of times.

Online thing is new and I've only done it for UK sales, so not sure then.

Just send in the purple bit if not.

I have bought two vehicles in NI in the recent past, in one case the owner gave me most of the V5 and he kept section 11. In the other case the owner sent the V5 to swansea and 3 weeks later I got a certificate of permanent export in the post. Both cases work for registration in the south, the only problem is the 3 week wait for cert.

Ally 100% correct.
Need the left hand side for VRT registration.
Keep transfer details from right and post if any issues.
Good luck with the sale.

Cheers guys.

I did a bit of googling and confirm Ally was as usual (note I didn't say always) correct.

DVLA INS 160 confirms the procedure is hand over the V5C and write a letter to Swansea to confirm.
