What is the form on taking cooker when moving?

why would you need to pay to disconnect a gas cooker? The bayonet fitting is the equivalent of changing a light bulb.

The only risk is at the other end, which doesnt apply, and thats the connection of the cable to the cooker itself which you need to ensure a seal, not the connection of the cable to the gas outlet.

Not every gas cooker has a bayonet fitting, mine certainly doesn't

There is no normal form. You go on what it says on the fixtures and fittings form in the conveyancing - which is presumably how you found out.

As a base line assumption, you start with whatever it says on the Agent's details. If it says nothing, assume a free standing cooker will be taken but a built in cooker will stay. Ideally check before you offer.

If the fixtures and fittings form is different from the basis for your offer, then consider a small renegotiation.

If the selling and buying system in E&W was modified such that when an offer is made, the inclusions and exclusions were agreed as part of offer and acceptance, it wouldn't be an issue.

I can't fathom how the system developed such that you make an offer for a house without agreeing what's included in or excluded from the sale, nor agreeing an entry date.

We just found out today that our seller intends to take their cooker with them when they go. I was just wondering if this is normal form as whenever I have moved in the past we have left the cooker and a cooker was always in place when we arrived in the new house.

Any suggestions?

1) Doesn't matter whether it's 'normal' - they can do as they wish wit their property.
2) Yes - buy a new one

The cooker was left behind at every house I've bought . . . unfortunately.

It meant that I had to remove it and take to the tip before I could install a nice new one:rotfl:

Yes but I've already thanked everyone for their input and decided what to do. And in fact Andy is wrong in that if is was customary to leave the cooker it would have affected any last minute negotiations before signing the contract.

So the post was incorrect, unhelpful and dare I say came across as being a little bit hostile.

Just because I answered concisely and didn't dress the points up with paragraphs of fluff doesn't mean it was 'hostile'. You asked some questions, I answered them.
This isn't a customer service facility whereby I have to make small talk etc or wish you a 'great day'. I was simply trying to help.
