Frequently asked questions

What Signeret records and what remains separate.

What does the agreement record?+

The parties, item, observed condition, disclosures, price, payment and handover promises.

Does it complete the official transfer?+

No. The agreement does not notify a licensing authority, transfer registered ownership, complete motor-tax or registration steps, or replace a prescribed form. For a registered ship, use the required statutory bill of sale and registry process separately.

Can we sign electronically?+

Irish electronic-commerce law generally permits electronic signatures for ordinary private agreements when intent and the evidence are sufficient. A prescribed form, witness, original instrument or excluded transaction keeps its own requirements.

Does Signeret verify ownership?+

No. Compare identity, authority, identifiers, registration, finance and other available evidence independently.

Which items are supported?+

Cars, motorcycles, trailers, caravans, boats, mopeds or scooters, and collectibles.

Is the service free?+

Yes. PDF download and the current digital-signing flow cost zero.

Can I add photos?+

Yes. Add relevant photos with permission and avoid unnecessary identity documents or sensitive material.

What consumer rules apply?+

A genuine private sale is not the same as a purchase from a trader. Mandatory consumer rights can apply if a seller is actually acting commercially, regardless of the label used by the parties.
