Items removed on fixtures and fittings forms

Just a quick one and as you may see from other thread things didn't go well moving day !!

Got to new house and expected to see a wall full of fitted wardrobes and drawers but it had all gone.checked the F & F and it states it is included in the sale

I emailed my solicitor earlier but she may have gone home by the time I sent it .

    Excellent thank you for that... I wasn't sure if I had to put up and put it down to experience or whether I did have a valid claim

    You have a valid claim.


    Whether you'll succeed, and whether it's worth pursuing all the way to court, is another matter.......

    Had the walls where the wardrobes were been left in a good state, i.e. no nail/screw holes, decorative condition the same as the rest of the room.

    That shows you have a vendor who doesn't care what they do. Is there anything else they didn't leave or didn't do properly?

  • Do you have any pictures of the wardrobe before it was removed? If you spend several thousand on a custom job done by a master joiner with high quality hardwood you'll struggle to claim the cost if it was replacing a cheap prefabricated job made with particle board. Proving the state it was in when the contract was made will be crucial to a successful claim.

    Lots , but as they were Powers of attorney and weren't benefiting from the proceeds they weren't that bothered about anything

    Still waiting for a full set of keys, but have given up on that a couple of days ago and changed the lock...they have still yet to hand them in

    Having just read your "removals saga" thread, this seems to have been a most unfortunate and stressful move

    One wonders why they bothered to remove the fitted wardrobes, unless they had exactly the same size bedroom to fit them in.

    You were right to change the locks.
