QUESTIONS FROM SELLERS
Selling your motorhome or campervan
Answers about selling your motorhome or campervan, including advertising, viewings and our no sale, no fee brokerage service.
How do I get a valuation for my motorhome or campervan?
Simply complete the form on our Sell My Motorhome page to request your free, no-obligation valuation. Your local Motorhome Marketplace broker will get in touch to discuss your vehicle, explain the likely selling price and talk you through our sell-at-home brokerage service. There’s no obligation to proceed with a listing.
What is the process to sell my motorhome?
Contact your local Motorhome Marketplace broker for a free, no-obligation valuation. We visit you at home, photograph your motorhome and prepare the advert with you. Once listed, we handle enquiries, accompanied viewings and offers, then manage payment and the handover when a sale is agreed. You can request a free valuation here.
Why use a motorhome broker instead of selling privately?
We take care of the advertising and enquiries, speak with prospective buyers to understand their requirements before arranging a viewing, and accompany viewings and negotiate offers on your behalf. This helps avoid unnecessary appointments and gives you greater peace of mind. Buyers can also access part exchange, finance through our partner, a 12-month warranty on eligible vehicles and help arranging insurance. These options open your motorhome or campervan up to a wider audience, including people who need to part exchange or arrange finance rather than buy with cash alone. We also manage the secure payment process and handover.
Are there any upfront costs to sell my motorhome?
No. Your no-obligation valuation, photographs, advert preparation and advertising are all provided without an upfront charge. We operate on a no sale, no fee basis: our agreed commission is payable only when we successfully sell your motorhome or campervan. Your broker will confirm the commission before your vehicle is advertised. If we don’t sell your vehicle, you pay absolutely nothing. Ready to get started?

Do you deal with buyers for me?
Yes. Your broker manages enquiries, answers buyers’ questions, arranges and accompanies viewings, presents offers and handles negotiations. We also organise the payment process and attend or coordinate the final handover. You remain involved in decisions about offers and the agreed selling price.
Does my motorhome stay at my home while it’s for sale?
Yes. Our sell-at-home brokerage service means your motorhome normally stays with you rather than being left on a dealer forecourt. Your local broker visits to prepare the listing and accompanies prospective buyers at pre-arranged viewings. The vehicle remains with you until the sale is completed and your funds have cleared.
Where will you advertise my motorhome?
We create a detailed listing with photographs and promote your motorhome on the Motorhome Marketplace website, Auto Trader and other relevant motorhome and social media channels used for your listing. Your broker will explain the advertising plan and keep you updated on enquiries.
How much does it cost to sell through Motorhome Marketplace?
There are no upfront advertising or valuation fees. Our brokerage commission is agreed with you when we take on the vehicle and becomes payable only when we successfully sell it. The agreed fee and selling arrangements are set out in your brokerage agreement, so you know where you stand before we begin.
How do I receive payment, and when do I hand over the keys?
We manage the transaction through our dedicated Lloyds Bank client funds holding account. Once the buyer’s payment has cleared and the sale is ready to complete, we arrange the agreed payment to you. You confirm that your proceeds are cleared in your own bank account before the motorhome and keys are released to the buyer. Please confirm any payment instructions directly with your broker using a known contact number.
What happens if my motorhome doesn’t sell?
We will discuss enquiries, feedback and whether changes to the advert or asking price may help. There is no sale fee if the motorhome does not sell. Our usual agreement starts with 90 days of sole agency and then continues on a rolling seven-day basis; your written agreement confirms the exact terms and how to end the listing.
Can you sell my motorhome if it has outstanding finance?
Yes, in many cases. Tell your broker about the finance when we value your motorhome and obtain an up-to-date settlement figure from your lender. We can then agree how any outstanding balance will be settled as part of completion, subject to the lender’s requirements and the sale proceeds.
Can I continue using my motorhome while it is advertised?
Yes, you can normally continue using it while it remains at home with you. Please keep your broker informed of any change to the mileage, condition or specification, and let us know about planned trips so we can arrange viewings around you.
