*sighs* why do some people have to be so difficult?

Let them take it then

I would pull out! This board is full of people having problems with buyers / vendors and you do not need the grief. If they are like this on the shed subject what next will be missing when you move in? The EA included the shed and the vendor must know it and after getting the sale, they think, they 'try it on'.

Seems a little harsh to pull out over a shed! Up to the OP as to how important it is but most things can be resolved by negotiation.

A new shed is £200 + free delivery. Offer them £100 for the shed or buy a new one.

That really depends on the shed! The last one I had installed was just shy of £2,000, including installation but not the concrete base (10"x12").

Not worth getting stressed over.

Lots of vendors try tricks on people to get extra money.

Don't offer them any extra money. Just make it clear via your solicitor that you expect the loft empty and all their rubbish removed. If they want to take the shed let them it may actually be a blessing.

I agree with OP. It seems a bit petty and hardly worth the hassle to dismantle and remove a garden shed.

I had this, refused to pay extra for the shed as previously thought it was included and they did take it! It wasn't even that nice, just useful with power.

Well, it seems like the seller really did want the sheds...

After a rather tense few days, we've agreed ona lower price for the property, so hopefully exchanging early next week. Fingers crosses that nothing else happens now!

For the record, on this particular property, Vincenzo's type of shed was probably closer than Swipe's. It was a reasonably valuable part of the property to lose, and not one that I was just willing to let go.

Thanks for all your comments- certainly the knowledge, tips and advice on this board has helped me "hang in there" during the initial and later negotiations.
