    A 5/6 year old washing machine has little secondhand value. if your buyers don't mess you around, just leave it for them.
    Agreed, what's it worth? £50?

    I would just say its included on the fixtures and fitting form and just leave it there.

    Thank you all for your replies. This is being done through the solicitors. We had listed white goods as optional in the information form. I was about to reply to the solicitor's email confirming that the buyers were interested in buying the washing machine when I thought I didn't want to get into the situation where they paid for it and after (eg.) 3 uses it broke down and they wanted their money back. Its only £100 so not worth lots of hassle.

    So, you tell your solicitor what you've told us, and let them sort out what the contract should say.

    Blimey the hardest part is getting rid of an old washing machine, you're lucky they'll have it at all.

    As a favour we said the vendors could leave their dishwasher and a cupboard because they'd got built in ones at their new property.

    They thanked us with a bottle of gin ☺️
