Depends, if it's intergrated then it's part of the kitchen and should stay with the house IMHO. If it's like one of those freestanding models then I personally wouldn't expect the seller to leave it.0

I thought white goods was a phrase tagged to those literally like that (before silver plastic) - washing machine, fridge, freezer, possibly tumble dryer. When renting unfurnished+white goods often doesn't include cooker, a) it's not traditionally white! and b) usually needs fitting and safety tests.....
If it's freestanding I wouldn't expect it to be included.0 -
I think you need to ask your solicitor as I wouldn't include an oven as white goods. Like others I assume it's washer/dryer, f/freezer.
I also wouldn't pay a couple of hundred quid for their cooker either if I'm spending 100's of thousands on their house. It bugs me along with trying to sell the carpets. I've told them to take them with them and they never have yet!! One seller even tried to get me to pay £50 for the TV aerial on the roof.

I usually does mean you get the cookers, fridge etc. Howver, just ask your solicator to confirm this.0

I wouldn't have classed an oven as white goods. Probably because most ovens aren't white. I thought it just covered fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers etc.0

Never assume "white goods" means anything legally. Need to have it specified by name.FREEDOM IS NOT FREE0
