No address for papers? UK
This may be the solution.
I have yet to research this option fully, but from what I have found so far, it sounds like the go.
I don't have friends/family in the UK to use for a postal address for the tax and insurance needed for buying a bike. This was causeing much consternation. I have been leaning towards buying from a dealer so that I may be able to get them to sort it all out for me. So far I have not been able to get this organized.
Time for some lateral thinking.
I remebered about small business's using secretarial and office services and also answering services. Me thinks, Mail services? I googled, and there were heaps of them. Try" mail forwarders UK" , Some of them actually promote the idea of using them for DVLA stuff. They provide you with an address, and a forwarding service and all sorts of other interesting things. All for a price of course. But probably cheaper than the option of paying extra through a dealer for a bike.Pays to look at a number of them as the fees vary wildly.
Also worth a look for insurance is this lot.
Camper Van Insurance and Motor Vehicle Insurance
I have made enquiries but have not yet recieved a reply.
Hope this helps for those in a similar situation. I"ll add further comment as the process unfolds.
