    Though really want the phone shop..but have to lay the law down and say I can't work Sundays....

    It's really important for me to have Sunday's off as you know how old fashioned a christian I am :)

    Erme, another interview! Stick to your guns re Sundays, selling isn't a life-or-death necessity. :D

    Miggy,

    As the buyer you may be dissatisfied with the state of the property when you move in, for example, it is dirty. There is nothing you can do about this because the seller is under no legal obligation to leave the house in a clean state. However, the seller is under an obligation to empty the house of all their furniture and belongings, unless you agree otherwise with them. If the seller has left some belongings in the house you should ask the seller to remove them. If the seller cannot or will not remove the items you will have to arrange to have them moved. Moving the items may cost you money and you could try to recover this from the seller. However, if the seller refuses to cover the costs you may have to take the seller to court to recover the money and this is unlikely to be worthwhile.

    This is the information from CAB's Adviceguide 'Problems with buying and selling property'.

    Thanks Butti. It's been a long time since I moved house but the state of some of the houses stills sticks in my mind!
