When I sold my round I met the bloke on the round and introduced him to each customer or if they were out I left a note explaining the changeover with both sets of contact details. Then he paid. Obviously I gave a list with details.
I think that's what I would expect as a minimum if buying work.

Dont part with loads of cash upfront there are scammers out there I know a guy who bought work and the streets didn't even exist, let alone the work

Make sure he informs every customer that you are taking over, in writing.  It's not like a shop where you can just announce under new management and passing trade goes with it.  This is just based on goodwill.
