most insurance companies don't open on a Saturday, so depending on your insurer you may struggle there a little.

just be sure to transfer the ownership form into the new owners name, sign and date it and get it into the post the same day.

hand over the N.C.T. cert if you have it, and other than that, your sorted.

Make sure you have your vehicle licensing certificate and this will be needed for signatures by yourself and the new owner. Also you should have any nct certs and give these to the new owner as well.
When the form for change of ownership has been signed by both parties you should send this off as soon as possible to the vehicle registration unit in Shannon who will then issue a new vehicle licensing cert to the new owner. Any other documentation that you have in relation to servicing or the car history should also be provided to the purchaser if he or she requires it and if you have it. Make sure to cancel your insurance as soon as possible.
Good luck with the sale.

Make sure you send off the log book yourself and under no circumstances give it to the new owner.
You should also keep a note of the name, address and phone number of the new owner for your own records, just in case on the off chance something goes wrong or the log book is lost in the post or something. You never know. Better safe than sorry.

I would write the mileage on the tax book before the new owners sign it for peace of mind in case anything happens down the line.

Don't forget to remove the insurance disc.

also give all keys, alarm fobs, also, suggest send via express post. For some reason many logbooks getting lost, when post standard post.

If your car is registered for motorway tolls don't forget to notify your supplier - even if you remove the toll tag they will still read the registration and debit your account - could be a while before next statement arrives and you realise.

This will be of no use as a new document will be issued for the new owner.

The new owner might not trust you to post the cert, so from my experience the best thing to do is for both to fill it out, make a photocopy or scan it, go to the post box together and post it.

And don't just put the date on the cert, record the actual time of sale as well.

+1, I've always went to the post office with the new owner got a stamped adressed envelope and put it in the post box with him as witness, shake his hand walk away and thats the end of it from then on in.
