Phone and ask if they actually have the number on retention or are brokering it, etc. if brokering make offers, not the asking price.

Bought mine some years back through regtransfers, they were great to deal with. Did all the paperwork and everything for you. :thumbsup:

Be careful - I am wary of private car reg sellers....

Yep, had issues with Ask-Reg.com. Bought a plate showing as available. Turns out it wasn't. Also saw the plate on CarReg and called them. After speaking with the guy there and specifically asking if it was definitely available turns out it wasn't. Best advice I've been given is go through DVLA and use a credit card for payment.
