[quote][i]Originally posted by Tim[/i] Taken from our UK Law Tutorial... ------------------------------------------------- Private sellers It is very important to realise that you do not have the same legal rights when you buy privately. When buying from a private individual (not a commercial trader) you have fewer legal rights. Goods only have to be as described and do not have to be of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose. When buying privately the main rule is known as 'caveat emptor'. This means 'buyer beware' and you should take note of this. For example, it is not an implied term of a purchase when buying a car that it is free from defects or even that it has an engine at all, provided that it was not described as such. A seller cannot mislead you, but you take the goods as they appear and there are no guarantees. It is very important, therefore, when buying privately that you thoroughly examine the goods. It may be helpful to take someone along with you, for example, someone who knows about cars when buying one etc. If you get an item home and it does not work properly or collapses you will not have any legal rights to rely on. The exceptions to this are where the defects were not apparent on examination, where the seller misrepresents that the goods are fit for a particular purpose, or where defective goods cause injury or damage to property worth £275 or more. In these situations, you may return the goods and/or sue for compensation. [/quote]
