Asking for money off is a no-no. You saw the property, hot tub and all, and you offered.

Is this hot tub free-standing? Easy to take out? In which case it's really an extra open to negotiation. You want it, you buy it; you don't want it you don't buy it.

Or built in and a nightmare to remove. It's part of the property and usually therefore included. Up toyou to remove it after to purchase.

  I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect them to either remove it, or take  the cost of removal off the price.

Figure out how it got there. I'd suspect needing a crane is unusual. Is there access for removal if a fence panel is removed?

It’s not up to the buyer to dispose of the sellers stuff regardless of how easy or difficult it is.
Personally I would not take it at the moment.
they are voracious consumers of electricity so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a glut on the second hand market

the buyer simply need to to decline the offer and make sure the contract stipulates it’s removed which I believe is a standard clause.

This buyer is considering the option of a reduction if its left. As he wants it gone understanding potential removal options and costs would be useful.

"I would like to say that we either want them to take it with them or actually knock some money off to cover the cost of taking it away"

Good point and completely valid.
the spare parts may be worth something - motors, heater, control panel, process control board etc. if you can be bothered to remove, store, advertise, package, deliver etc.
they could be worth hundreds.
it comes down to who wants the most hassle.

if it’s in decent nick it could also be sold or given (for free collection) to a dealer who might be prepare to sell second hand or refurbish.

just be careful with the electrics.

Near neighbours bought a hot tub a few years ago, It needed a crane to lift it over the garage.

Our neighbours had to have theirs craned in. I wouldn't want to get in someone else's sex pond.

Like a bedroom? How about sitting in the back seat of a car? Surely everyone is using it for you know what.

My neighbour has a hot tub and she lives on her own and is in her eighties. It's great for her ailing limbs.

So if you buy a house do you remodel the bathroom to replace the bathtub as well?

My next door neighbours have one. They have built a massive shed to house it. Think they have used it about 5 times during the whole of covid lockdown. Pointless if you ask me. Thankfully I have no evidence it it being used as a sex pond
