The first place to go when looking to
buy a narrowboat is the internet; you will find hundreds of narrowboats for sale on the internet either through private sellers, dealers or brokers.
Buying through a private seller or dealer has its advantages as you will always get more information on the true nature and quirks of a boat from the owner themselves and they are often more flexible. Avoid private sellers and dealers that do not have a credible reputation.
Alternatively, you can use a brokerage company. Reputable brokers will have a great deal of experience in buying narrowboats for customers, enabling them to detect a good deal when they see one. They will also have a variety of boats in one location and they can help to make the buying process as stress free as possible.
Find a good broker either through by checking their advertisements or through recommendation from previous customers.
Buying a used boat can be a good idea for boaters with experience.
