When we moved in to current flat we found the previous people had left the fridge freezer.
We were naive / silly enough to pay the token fee the sellers offered the existing fridge / washing machine to us for. Duh such noobs. The answer is FOR FREE PLEASE (with the implication that if they don't agree they MUST remove it).
Anyway, the fridge is still going strong despite being a hotpoint.

When we moved in to current flat we found the previous people had left the fridge freezer. It was one of those big American style ones (with water and ice dispenser) that probably required its doors to be removed to get in/out (of a first floor flat with a tricky exit down external stairs to boot). It wasn't listed on the items we negotiated about (blinds, curtains, lights, etc).
That was 10 years ago and its still going strong. An equivalent replacement would be >£1k according to JL.
Other bit of advice (as downstairs neighbour owns a removal company). If there's something left in the house that you want to dispose of, offer it to the removal company for free, they'll usually be happy to take stuff away and either scrap it or sell it on.
