It's probably not worth messing with the house sale over a fridge freezer even if it is only going to used for a year. When I bought last the owners took the fridge but I just arranged for a new one to be delivered that day and crossed my fingers that it would be after we got the keys. If it had arrived earlier then one of us would have gone to accept delivery and just asked for it to be left in the garden out of sight until we moved in. We were only moving a few miles though so it was possible for that to happen. We ripped out the kitchen the following year, bought a fridge freezer and the old fridge is now in the garage with the freezer our vendors left and they are used as a beer fridge and dog food freezer. I love having the extra space when it comes to Christmas or summer bbqs.2

It might be £10-15, but then it's another £30-50 to get a man with van to move it. And, are the ones in the auction actually working? If not, it's another 15 quid for the council to come and take it away.greatcrested said:At local auction you'll pick upa frifge freezer for £10-15. Even if it dies after 6 months, so what?eg
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?3 -
Don't do this.macman said:I'm surprised by your conveyancer's response. If it's on the TA10, then it's clearly a legal matter if they breach it.
I'd be tempted to instruct your solicitor to adjust the balance owing on completion by the used value of the fridge freezer and oven/hob, and advise them of this in advance. Although if you actually did this, they might counter-claim.
While it is a legal breach if they don't provide vacant possession of the property including all fixtures & fittings on the TA10, don't risk a £x00k transaction if you fail to pay the agreed purchase price. A debate over the exact value of the goods could mean you're seen as breaching which could have futher concequences.
You could pursue via small claims court, or letter threatening this, but that's all after the fact when your risk is a relatively small court fee / solicitors fee / cost of a stamp, not an entire property transaction.

Have you tried simply asking the seller to reconsider? 'but you said on the TA10 you would leave it and we were counting on it - we were hoping you would say you could leave more white goods not inviting you to leave less'
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

I agreed to buy the washer/dryer in my last place. Packed up the first time I tried to use it!For the hell of it I would post a note through the door with a copy of the form pointing out what they had agreed to include as part of the sale, and leave it at that. They may reconsider, but for the sake of £50 it's not worth stressing over.1

Sometimes vendors threaten to do something then don't. As subsequently realise it's too much hassle to remove built in appliances.0

My solicitor made it clear they really didn't want to get into negotiations over "chattels". Not that there was any problem.(My username is not related to my real name)1

You might as well give the estates agent some work to do. See if they can convince the vendors that it's their legal duty to leave it.If not, it's an inconvenience but not the end of the world. You don't want to see them taking anything else or not cleaning in retaliation, for example.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

And if it catches fire and burns down your hole house that's another £150,000 at least.GDB2222 said:
