With or without a berth, a fundamental question!
The COT, or temporary occupancy agreement, entitles the boat owner to use the designated berth to moor their boat. As the owner, you become a tenant of public property, as the berth belongs to the state. The houseboat market is not exponential and can very quickly become saturated by demand exceeding supply. Buying a boat that has its own mooring is THE criterion before taking the plunge into life on the water. To this end, Rivercoach supports you from A to Z and guarantees the purchase of a boat with a COT. Without a berth (COT), you can find boats that are two to three times cheaper than boats that are already moored, but this is a trap that many buyers have fallen into. We do not sell any boats without a berth and are here to support you. With 10 berths becoming available each year, the waiting list is 15 to 20 years long...
