No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1 -

Can you check whether they mean they are no longer ‘included’ in the price of the sale? As in, we’re not taking them with us but we want x amount for them.0

Offer them £2000 for the items to be paid on completion. Don;t pay it.

OP, it's reasonable to ask your solicitor to raise it - as it was on the forms and you've exchanged, it is technically a breach of contract on their part.
That said, it's a relatively low-cost item and probably not worth getting into a big fight over. How much would it be worth second hand?
Last time I moved, the oven died a few days before moving date. I got my repair guy our who basically said that it would cost more to repair than it was worth (and getting the parts would take long enough that it would be after the completion date) and that buying a similar qualify oven second hand would be about £50 on ebay
I explained the situation and offered the buyers £50 and everyone was happy. Maybe ask for something similar, based on what you think a realistic second hand price would be?All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -
I would not waste the solicitor/conveyancer's time with this.
That isn't going to achieve anything. Your conveyancer will just tell the seller's conveyancer about the fridge. The other side's conveyancer will need to ask their client. Their client may give a stroppy response. The parties will then be in deadlock, and the conveyancers will be unable to proceed without confirmation of an agreed position. Giant waste of time for all involved.
If you want the fridge left, ask the EA about it.0 -
Hope they don't remove all the lightbulbs on their way out. Our first seller did!

our vendors' washing machine broke between exchange and completion, had the cheek to ask us to get a new one in the meantime, since I am moving anyways. I umed and ahhed until I completed and bought a new one which only I would use, not someone else putting their dirty shoes in the washing machine making it smell and nasty"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
