PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

    Unless the agent said there was a nine-grand kitchen in the property and there wasn't, you haven't a cat's chance in hell. I suspect the vendor told the agent that they had plans to put this gold-plated kitchen in, the agent accepted their word for it and now the vendor has chosen not to install it. Caveat emptor.

    There's no use wasting your energy by tilting at windmills. Drop out of the purchase or just get on and buy it for what it's worth to you now

    So, if you're unhappy with the current legislation, write to your MP and lobby for change.

    So you think an MP (any MP) will actually do something in my lifetime, they are not there for us, never have been never will be, :D
    It's someone else's fault.

    The brochure said "[included is] a new kitchen worth £9000 but is yet to be fitted", but I agree with your other points.
