Buying Fittings and Fixtures - What to Offer?

cdp2879

Does anyone have any experience buying or selling fittings? We received the fittings and fixtures form yesterday and asked, through solicitors, whether they’d be prepared to sell some of the items not currently included, and at what price. We specifically asked about the cooker, washing machine and some of the wardrobes/bookshelves. They came back quickly saying they’d entertain offers, and did we want anything else (naming off most of the rest of the furniture - but we’d only be interested in the table and chairs, maybe some curtains).  We’re leaving a partially furnished rental, and they’re selling one of a few buy-to-let flats. So this could be a nice solution for all involved. 

But I don’t know what to offer? I’ve asked the estate agent for another viewing to examine the age and condition of the items we’re interested in, but even then I don’t know where to start.

Thanks!

Have a look what similar second hand stuff costs and offer about that. Check eBay/gumtree etc...

Not much.

Used furniture, used appliances - all dirt-cheap. The main advantage of THOSE ones is that they don't have to be shifted... and that's something that works even more in your favour, because the vendor would have to get shot, too.
