Hello,
We completed on our house yesterday and came upon a problem. In the fixtures and fitting list signed by the owner, it was stated that the Washing Machine, Tumble dryer and Dish washer was included in the sale. When we got the keys and got in there all three had been removed. We have contact our sols who are going to chase his solicitors but has anyone else had this happen to them and what was the outcome.
What do we do if he turns around and says he is not going to replace them?
Thanks for reading.

Hopefully their solicitor will make them see reason or retain some of the money until its sorted. Failing that its the small claims court for breach of contract.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Thanks for that, I have never been through the small claims court, is it a long and costly experience ? Is it worth doing in this case?0

Possibly an oversight on the sellers behalf but you do have it in writing so should be ok.
You may well get new ones if the seller has installed their old ones in their new house already.
Make sure you insist that if they are returned or you have to get new, that installation is provided, as had the old ones of been left nothing would have had to be done.
Best of luck in your new house

If they were included in the fixtures and fittings list your solicitor provided you, the threat of court should be enough to make them pay up. You have the evidence and they were in the wrong.
The only reason not to go to court would be if you thought they didn't have the funds to compensate you in which case a ruling would be worthless or if they were out of the country.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Ok thanks, we was just worried that if he tried a cash settlement that he would not offer up the full amount to cover the costs of new appliances that are of the same standard. I am starting to think that he would go through the local electric shop and find the cheapest possible prices and give us that cash amount.0

Might be an idea to take some photos of the gaps. , he might say he left them and you have disposed of them....#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

we was also worried about this as well, how is it possible to prove they were not there when we moved in?0

can you date the photos on your dig camera??:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

Have you got any piccies (maybe from the details) of them in the house?delluver wrote:not sure maybe, but it was yesterday when we completed. I am hoping this bloke won't be that stubborn
Its possible you can use these to match the ones hes taken (and put in his place). If it comes down to proving he removed them!0
