AVOIDING HIDDEN DEFECTS IN A BOAT PURCHASE

AVOIDING HIDDEN DEFECTS IN A BOAT PURCHASE - CHECKLIST

Hidden defects are the most common cause of disputes in boat purchases. For the buyer, this can involve hundreds of thousands of kronor in unexpected costs, and for the seller, lengthy disputes and price reductions. With our checklist, you reduce the risk of problems — and make the transaction safer for both parties. 

FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST - STEP BY STEP:

✔ Always engage an independent surveyor.

✔ Document the condition of the boat with photographs and a written report.

✔ Request receipts for service and repairs.

✔ Include a specific clause regarding hidden defects in the agreement.

✔ Be transparent as a seller – disclose any known deficiencies.

✔ Seek legal assistance if defects are discovered after the purchase.
