What Are the Costs Involved When Selling a Number Plate?

Thinking of selling your number plate? With Swiftreg, sellers do not pay a fee to list or sell.

Instead of taking commission from your agreed sale amount, we add our charges to the advertised price paid by the buyer.

This means you can set the amount you want to receive for your registration, while buyers see the full purchase price upfront. It’s a simple way to sell a cherished number plate with clear pricing and no seller fees.

How Our Pricing Structure Works

At Swiftreg, our pricing structure is designed to make the costs clear for both sellers and buyers.

The Base Price

The base price is the amount you want to receive for your number plate. You choose the minimum figure you are willing to accept, and that amount is not reduced by seller fees from us.

Our service is built around handling the sale from listing through to transfer, including marketing, buyer communication, negotiation and admin support during the transfer process.

The Advertised Price

The advertised price is the price shown to the buyer. This includes your chosen base price, along with any additional charges that apply to the sale like VAT and DVLA.

When someone views a plate on our website, they can see a full pricing breakdown before they buy. This helps make the transaction more transparent and avoids confusion about the final cost.

DVLA Fees

All of our plates include DVLA transfer fees, which are vital for changing the vehicle’s details and obtaining the necessary documentation. In most cases, the fee is £80 and is covered by the buyer.
