I guess the next conundrum in this thread will be if the have taken the sofas and cosy fire...

Highly unlikely that they are going to leave any of the furniture, fixtures or fittings.  They are buying the building, not the contents - same as the main house itself.

And the usual definition is if you could pick the property up, turn it upside down, and shake it... what would remain?

A wooden garden shed free-standing on a concrete base? Nope. As removable as garden furniture.

Fair enough, but I strongly suspect that unless the agreement states 'summerhouse and contents' for £1k then it is likely to just be the frame/base left in situ.  If the seller is planning to erect a new summerhouse in their garden then they will most likely take what they need to kit it out.  If the OP is expecting to get the contents included then they should clarify that with the seller (and get it in writing).

New update... the sellers have said "if you can offer £1000 they will leave the summer house as we all want to be able to keep the sales progressing." I'm so thankful for those people who told me to stick to my guns!

1:42 you posted
The seller was very adamant on the phone that they paid £3000 for the summer house five years ago and £1000 for the base so they will accept no less than £3000 for the summerhouse.

you posted just before 12pm they EA wanted you to call them.
so <2hrs they have gone from £3k to £1k   and you have £500 on the table

Leave it to Monday  nothing going to progress the rest of today. 

They are on the back foot they can't let this sale go with a new build a month away. 

I am quite intrigued by which summer house this is any chance of a link to the manufactures model?

A tongue in cheek comment relating to how this situation came about i.e. OP and seller not making things clear as to what is included in the sale.

I wonder why they are desperate to leave it for the cheap, perhaps they don't want you knowing what is underneath the concrete base, perhaps a dog in a tesco bag for life?

Oh, the joys (and potential surprises) of moving house! That's a good point about the summer house situation.

You are replying to a thread nearly three years old.

It's a spammer trying to get their post count up. The post will have come up in a search.

I'm curious though - how did it get resolved?

Must've been resolved as the property was brought. But the OP was cheated on six months later. Last e heard they was attempting to buy partner out!
