Request the certificate number, hallmark details and receipt or provenance if the seller is a registered dealer in Southampton.
Set your travel radius
Use the distance filter with your postcode to see Loose adverts within 10, 25 or 50 miles of Southampton instead of scrolling the whole country.
Budget beyond the price
On top of the £100–£20,000+ purchase price, plan for insurance and any resizing or servicing costs — ongoing costs in Southampton are usually higher than rural areas.
