What happens if vendors don't remove agreed stuff?

Found a house, offer been accepted and mortgage application in. Currently in the process of discussing with the vendors via the estate agents as to what will be left/what will be removed. There was a large pile of bricks in the front garden and all of the garden fence panels piled high in the back garden that we've asked…

Sounds like an informal arrangement but if the cousin wants to be stubborn they can say they have an AST and refuse to leave requiring an eviction order from the court. Depending on when they've moved in this could take a while (cannot issue an S21 that gives them a leaving date before the first 6 months).

From your point of view just ensure the property is vacant before you exchange. It's the sellers problem if the cousin doesn't move out (as you won't exchange and they'll loose the sale). However it would be frustrating to get to exchange then find cousin is staying put. Up to you to decide how likely this is.
