Repairing after taking fixtures/fittings

Rickb

We are selling a property and have filled out the fixtures fittings list and a lot is being left behind (Curtain poles blinds etc)

Their solicitor has asked if we plan to make right and repairs required after FF are removed.

The only things I can think of are wall speakers removed - presume I just fill and sand it back?

Regarding picture hooks - if I leave them in is that fine or do I need to pull out the tacks and fill those in too?

Thanks

Rick

My personal view is that I never bother to "make good" when selling. Whatever you do, the wall/ceiling/floor won't look perfect - even if you do a perfect filling job then the paint will look new.

I always expect people moving in to decorate so patching up is a waste of time.

If you fill the form in and say "no making good" then will the buyer pull out? Hardly likely and you've saved yourself a day on messing around

We will leave picture hooks in situ so no need to repair, however we will be making good the walls after cabinets, curtain poles etc have been removed.

Cheers robatwork & JennyW - as we're not taking any of the curtain poles and it's just the 2 speaker brackets that will leave rawlplug holes, I might just leave it and say no making good. They will need to paint the whole wall anyway to make it match.

Thanks again
