    Certainly in property purchases I have done (Scotland), the state of any white goods as part of the sale was included in the contract.  That did mean they had to be working.  A purchases can insist that the house is empty without white goods they don't need or want.  Disposing of them can be a pain.  If they didn't work the seller will be under the contract due to refund some of the purchase price presuming your solicitor was savvy enough to include that
  • The two items are integrated. She claims they were sold as seen but how can you tell if something is not working (dishwasher & fridge blockage) at a viewing?
    Thanks - that's the word I meant but couldn't think of it at the time, hence the quote marks. :)
