See your point but not a problem, I'll freecycle them if that happens and I dont want them!!0

If they leave them in the property though and you don't want them then isn't that a whole load of hassle for you to get rid of them? I'd be mighty peed off if I walked in to my new home to find a load of stuff that I didn't want and that was now my responsibility to get rid of!
Every house I have ever moved into have left so much junk, but what can you do? The last house we bought left their full of junk, and under stair cuboards. They asked me if they should leave paint etc, so I could touch up in the same colour, I said yes, which they understood as leave every bit of junk they could. The loft had allsorts to, fishtanks, wardrobes, everything. Oh they wanted £500 for there curtains, and I said no, and they left them too.Debt free. March 2020

I would call their bluff. I have done it twice when buying a house. Told them I want nothing, and they just ended up leaving it anyway. They obvioulsy dont want there white goods, and they are a hassle to remove. Say no thanks and they might leave them anyway. If they dont £300 is way way to much. Second hand they might get £80 each, if they are in decent nick, and a decent brand.
Definitely agree with this - in fact, I'd stress this is the best tactic.
Call their bluff and when they come to move they really won't be bothered with the hassle of getting everything disconnected...paying a plumber to come out and undo the plumbing etc. I bet you they just leave it anyway.
And if you don't want it (if it's crap for example) then when you buy a new appliance most firms recycle the old one anyway.0
