Yes, I'm certainly not willing to pay anymore for the said items.
Bemusingly, I remembered they stated that they intend leaving a large wardrobe. It was quite nice so under the circumstances i'm amazed they're not trying to sell it to us!0 -
They probably can't get it down the stairs! Do you really want this furniture, if not insist they take it.
When we bought a small flat for OH to live in during the week, the broken washing machine and futon were left behind in the flat by the previous owner. We had to pay somebody to take them away. Plus there was a whole loft of crap in the loft we had to get rid of too.Make £2026 in 2026

Unless any of the items are particularly desirable, I would say you are best to state that you are not interested in purchasing the fixtures.
The only exception possibly being the conservatory blinds if these are custom made and fitted for the particular roof panels - custom blinds are exceptionally expensive and you could find yourself paying as much as they want for all the fixtures just to buy new blinds for the conservatory.
If they are custom fitted and they take them away, you need to make sure they don;t leave unsightly damage to the conservatory - you can only remove fixtures if you make good the fixing areas and any damage, otherwise you could claim against them for damage to the building. You might want to get your solicitor to make a point of this in the contract.0 -
Very good point CJ. I have added that to my letter. Thank you0
