You can check if any mortgages are registered as outstanding by paying the MCA Registry Office a fee. However there may be a loan or mortgage that is not registered with the MCA, so it will be wise to do an HPA check as well. The RYA do a useful booklet that sets out the mechanics of buying boats. Do not know how much a broker would charge.

Ask for a copy of the Reg Document - which will show any registered finance.

The Reg Doc, lists owners, in proportion if the ownership is shared. Letting you know if the seller is the owner or not! There may or may not be finance on a shared boat. Tx

Is the registration still valid?
