How collection works from North Yorkshire
Reg to bank transfer in four steps.
Submit your reg
Reg + mileage on the form above, plus four honest questions about condition, finance, damage and history. Two minutes.
No account, no phone, no email at this stage. The four honest questions are condition (excellent/good/fair/poor), outstanding finance, accident damage, and service history. Honest answers get firmer offers.
Firm offer within 2 hours
A real valuer reads every North Yorkshire enquiry by hand. Firm number by call, SMS or email. The offer holds for 72 hours.
Overnight enquiries land on top of the morning queue, typical reply by 08:30. The valuer cross-checks your reg against trade data, our own historical sales on the same model, and active buyer-network demand in North Yorkshire.
Free collection from North Yorkshire
If you accept, we collect free across YO1-YO32 (York, Selby, Tadcaster), same day where logistics allow. Drop-off at our HQ in Bethnal Green E2 also welcome.
York collections slot into our regional route every 7-10 days; dedicated lifts available outside that window. Photos welcome via WhatsApp 0207 8717 671 so we can sharpen the offer before collection day.
Bank transfer on the day
Faster Payment cleared before the keys change hands. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender.
We bring the V5C transfer paperwork to your doorstep. You sign section 6, the Faster Payment clears in ~90 seconds (we wait until your banking app confirms), then we move the cab. TfL plate surrender + DVLA tax-class change handled in-house post-collection.
York FAQ
What York drivers ask first.
I do mostly tourist + station-transfer PHV. Does that wear pattern affect resale?
Slightly positively. Tourist + station PHV typically logs more short urban runs than airport-corridor work, which means the brakes and clutch wear faster but the drivetrain ages gently. We price the body + brake condition + plate-fitment combination; the use pattern doesn't penalise the offer unless service history is patchy.
Do you collect from across North Yorkshire?
Yes, free collection across YO1-YO32 plus Selby, Tadcaster, and the wider North Yorkshire area. York collections slot into our Yorkshire route alongside Leeds and Bradford, typically 24-48h from offer acceptance.
I'm City of York Council licensed. Plate surrender process?
Yes, CYC accepts surrender at the West Offices licensing point. We handle the paperwork on your behalf as part of post-collection workflow. Add 3-5 working days for the council side.
Faster Payment timing on collection day?
Same day, inside 90 seconds. Same workflow as every other collection. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender (we'll need the settlement letter).
