Frequently asked questions

What is an equipment purchase agreement?

An equipment purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and seller that sets out the terms for the sale of machinery or equipment in the UK, including the purchase price, condition, delivery terms, and any warranties.

Do I need a written contract to buy or sell equipment in the UK?

Yes. A written agreement protects both parties by documenting the agreed price, condition, and terms, and reduces the risk of disputes about what was promised.

What does the Sale of Goods Act 1979 imply into an equipment sale?

It implies terms such as the seller having the right to sell the goods and that goods sold in the course of business are of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose, unless validly excluded in a business-to-business sale.

How does the Consumer Rights Act 2015 affect an equipment sale?

If the buyer is a consumer rather than a business, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies instead and gives the buyer non-excludable rights to goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described.

What does title transfer mean in an equipment purchase agreement?

Title transfer refers to the point at which legal ownership of the equipment passes from the seller to the buyer, usually tied to full payment or physical delivery, and is often addressed with a retention of title clause.

Who is responsible for delivering equipment after a sale in the UK?

This depends on what the parties agree in the contract, which should state who arranges and pays for transport, loading and unloading, and when risk of damage passes to the buyer.

What should I check before signing an equipment purchase agreement in the UK?

Confirm the make, model, and serial number match the contract, check the seller has legal title to sell, and review any warranty terms, delivery arrangements, and retention of title clauses.
