Private registration purchase

Hello all,
I am in the process of purchasing a private registration from one of the big registration sellers, the number is on retention held by a private owner so the company are acting as the middle man.

I have been asked to send in the V5 log book from the car I want the registration transferred to. I asked if I could deal with the transfer directly with DVLA and said that it would cause an issue of GDPR.
Does that sound right?

One other question, has anyone gone through the process of getting the original registration transferred back on ...were there any problems?

Thank you

Paul
