# What details do I need to provide in order to sell my vehicle via auction?

The first thing we’ll need is a copy of your V5 and proof of ownership. It's important that you declare to us any reason why the V5 may not be in your name and offer any supporting paperwork.

In order for one of our professional writers to create your vehicle description we’ll need to gather as much information as possible. We’ll share a comprehensive list of questions for you to answer but bear in mind, the more information you can give us, the more detailed and compelling your auction listing will be, greatly improving your chances of selling at the right price.

Not only are you legally required to advertise accurately but your vehicle has a far higher chance of selling for the right price if the description is honest, accurate and detailed, so include everything - the good, the bad and the rusty!
