Resolve title or financing uncertainties before payment rather than substituting a low price or verbal assurance for evidence. Verify seller, unit identity, recipient and relevant settlement or release records, seeking qualified advice where needed.
- Request provenance, transfer records and financing documents.
- With authorization, check with the financier or relevant registers.
- Record title assurances, acceptance/payment conditions and dispute procedures; pause payment while material gaps remain.
Scope: procurement verification guidance; admissibility, costs and delivery conditions require actual records and confirmation by the responsible parties.
