    I would suggest starting with a negotiating position that you'll take their knackered old appliances off their hands for £0, and that will save them the bother of disconnecting and removing them.

    Sometimes a seller will change their plans. When the house goes on the market they plan to take things, but when they find their next house they are being left so won't need them ... Or the other way around. So the details the estate agent originally produced may end up incorrect.

    It would be best practice to go back to the solicitor to contact the seller's solicitor to ask them for any further detail, however this may take weeks waiting for letters, so in reality the quickest way to resolve these is to get the EA on it, as they will just call the seller and find out their 'expectations' so to speak, and report back to you. It could be they didn't mean what they put on the form ... It could be they've made a mistake ... It could be they want £x per item. Then once you can agree, this info gets passed to solicitors who will write it in to the contract.

    I'd be very concerned about the built in wardrobes. Everything else is an easy fix, if not that cheap, but taking the wardrobe doors and fittings out could cause damage and also could be very expensive to replace if they arent off-the-shelf (no pun intended) sizes.

    I would be very firm about those being left as is unless you are planning to replace immediately.
