Bad dishwasher timing

£100 is more than generous. A 10 year old machine would only be worth scrapping.Truth always poses doubts & questions. Only lies are 100% believable, because they don't need to justify reality. - Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Labyrinth of the Spirits0

Thanks for the update. Your buyer is a cheeky s0d, but all things being equal I think I'd cough up the extra £50 to get him off my back. It's only a quid a week from your pocket money for the next year

Hi,
I have spoken to my buyer and have offered him £100 because the dishwasher has broken.
He has demanded £150 or says get it repaired. The repair is probably going to cost me £150-£200 I reckon.
What a cheek, particularly as you had no legal obligation to tell him anything and could have just happily wandered off into the sunset, leaving him to find a broken dishwasher.
Not sure what I'd do but know I'd be extremely reluctant to give him £100, let alone £150.0 -
I think I have a legal obligation to repair it to good working order don't I?
A repair could cost £150 easily.
Think I am cornered to be honest.
So much for being honest.

the cheapest dishwasher I can find is £140, and then there's fitting.
My washing machine broke 3 days before I completed on my sale
Luckily buyer was happy with cash and not a new machine - worth the money not to have the hassle IMHO. Debt free 4th April 2007.
New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.0 -
As you were prepared to offer £100, I honestly don't think another £50 is worth getting into a ruck over. Moving house is grief enough, without any additional argy bargy. Like the advert says 'Peace of mind - priceless'......................I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)0

Only if you claimed it was in good working order, either in writing or verbally. Unfortunately, the waters have been muddied by a couple of posters who don't understand caveat emptor (buyer beware), although most posters have advised you correctly.0 -
Every house I've ever bought the first thing has been to change the appliances. The gas hob in one was positively dangerous
Try freecycle or gumtree . . ?0
