BROKERAGE CLIENT ACCOUNTS

Those who saw the recent BBC programme that suggested client monies (deposit & completion funds) should be placed with a solicitor are advised that this is neither possible nor necessary. 

A Client Account is mandatory for all ABYA members and their bank will provide a letter indemnifying the independent nature of the account.  We advise ABYA members to ask their accountant to verify the account every year at audit. 

Boat buyers and sellers are advised to find out about the broker they are using – are they members of a professional organisation? Do they have a good reputation?  Ask around at the sailing club or marina.  

All our members are listed on this website under Yacht Brokerage/Sales – Find a Broker.  If you have a query, just call us – we are always pleased to help.
