Buying kitchen & appliances in Durham
Durham has a cathedral and castle on a peninsula inside a loop of the Wear that together form a World Heritage Site, and a collegiate university that dominates the city. The miners’ gala each July is one of the largest trade union gatherings in Europe.
Measurements decide whether an appliance can be used at all, and a machine that will not pass the kitchen doorway is worth nothing to its buyer. Seeing it in place, with the route out measured, removes the one risk that cannot be undone afterwards.
What to check in person
Take the model and serial plate down and look up the age before you commit, since sellers routinely guess it several years young. Open everything that opens and check the hinges, the catches and the shelf supports, which are what break first.
Collecting it in Durham
It needs a van and realistically two people. Ask about the stairs, the doorway and the parking at the seller’s end before you set off, because that is the detail that decides whether the trip was worth making.
The peninsula is steep, cobbled and largely closed to vehicles, so arrange anything large for outside it. The station is above the city and the walk down is steep.

Defrost and drain it fully the day before, or a buyer arrives to a machine that cannot be moved without soaking their vehicle. Keep the manual, the shelves and any fittings together, and be straight about which functions have stopped working. Turns over steadily, with a clear lift through the summer moving season.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
