    council houses do not provide cooker so i'm pretty sure private landlords would not have to. afaik properties only have to have water, heat and power available to tenant (but not necessarily supplied by landlord)

    You probably want to find another place. If you go out and purchase a fridge, cooker etc., then move, it may not fit in the next place for whatever reason. Give this place a miss.

    Just thought it sounded a bit sarky G_M, OP asking for advice, no such thing as a stupid question and all that.

    I think it is British Heart Foundation that often sell second hand white goods. Otherwise the council may be able to point you in the direction of a charitable organisation that helps those on a low income get started with furniture and electricals.

    But I'm not buying a new home. I own a flat which I let out and I include all kitchen appliances. In turn, the property I currently live in is rented and that includes all kitchen appliances. And to top it off, all other properties we've viewed have at least a cooker included even though they're advertised as unfurnished.

    So although there's no legal requirement to provide any appliances when renting, every rental I've come across has these items included.

    We aren't talking about buying a home.

    We are talking about temporary residents here. Most home-owners will own the white goods in their house and hence be able to take them to a new house.
