I'm based in Norfolk and bought mine from Plymouth - its only a few hours traveling and always a great trip back - good luck with the search once you've sold yours again

another twist,just checked the status of the car tax and it has been taxed,not sure if 6 or 12 months.
It was on a SORN and the chap buying it said he would tax it so it was all road legal for him to drive home.
I gave him the 12 digit ref no on the New Keeper section of the V5C and he must have done it Sat or Sunday.
I still have the V5C and New Keeper section as nothing has gone off to DVLC.
If I declare it SORN presumably a refund would go back to the card used by this chap to pay for the tax.
So I am still the legal owner of a car that's taxed ,tax paid for by a prospective purchaser who is now deceased before completing the purchase.
Any ideas on what I should do next ?

I'd assume if you SORN it the refund will go to the prospective buyer.

You are still the owner, but as you mentioned before I'd definitely refund the deposit in that scenario.

Might be worth checking the DVLA still have you as the registered keeper - I'd call them just to be sure.
