Hello, I've read previous threads about what to expect in the house purchase, and really it's nothing until the itemised report is produced. I have received this and the sellers are taking their cooker, it's expensive so don't blame them.
I have heard that a method of cooking must be left in the property, however I can't find any evidence of this online, does anyone know what the law says on this?

There is no obligation or legal requirement for a seller to leave you a cooker.0

I'm not aware of this, many flats available for rent are completely empty of white goods. I've certainly never heard of a law saying a landlord has to supply a cooker.It's someone else's fault.0 -

In the days before built in ovens and hobs were common it was quite normal to take your cooker with you.....we moved from a house that had built in to one that had nothing, also moved into a brand new house with nothing.0 -

Not as far as I'm aware - we've bought a few houses where there has been no cooking facility left behind and where we have included ours (both integrated and free-standing) in the sale of our former home. At our current house not only was there no oven, but no kitchen either - we had to cook on top of the wood burning stove in a reception room initially

How near are you to completion & are you now or have you ever been a Scout?
Getting a cooker fitted involves waiting for a plumber, who usually is of the tribe of Godot. In the short term, familiarity with a camping cooker/stove will save you a bundle on takeways.
And a slow cooker is even more MS!0 -

I think you will find that mortgage providers require a property to be habitable for them to give a mortgage on it.
Two of the main elements of habitable are that it should have a functioning bathroom and kitchen. The short term absence of a cooker, with the means of reconnection still in place, would not render a kitchen 'non functioning'.0
