leaving every single white good when it's all so new is quite surprising
They are a huge pain to move and often don’t survive and / or will not fit in the place they are going to.
A common ruse is to ask the buyer for a token fee like £250 for them (I fell for this). They are sometimes used as bargaining chips to secure a sale at a price, “agree and we’ll throw in the white goods”.
If you were feeling extremely uncharitable you could ask them to remove them / charge them to remove them - especially if you wanted to fit your own.

Ooh... I've gone past mortgage deed signed, and have levelled up to land registry transfer signed.
I think we're close (to my bank account being emptied).
In the rather good news, the fixtures and fittings document has come over and it looks like we're getting the 1 year old Neff fitted-out kitchen thrown in, along with a few other things I thought they might be tempted to take with them. Yes I expected them to leave some things, but leaving every single white good when it's all so new is quite surprising. I kinda feel for them now, they clearly did the work hoping for a higher price and their first buyer pulling out has really screwed them (in our favour).
