  • Breach of contract if they don’t remove their stuff. Leaving deliberately damaged goods behind out of spite would be a proper dick move.

    Obs a huge ballache to get costs for removal from the seller but a buyer would be entitled to them and I wouldn’t want that hanging over my head.

  • Lol what contract are you breaching? Offering £10 for a fairly new washing machine would be the dick move. You're buying a house for £xxx,xxxx if you're quibbling over a couple hundred quid for a washing machine then I'd just tell them to jog on.

  • The bit of the contract that states the property is free of the seller’s items. This is standard.

    I wouldn’t say £10 is likely - that’s an extreme example, but it could come down to that if the buyer doesn’t care for the appliances you have.

    Or they’ll just say “no thanks” and suddenly the seller has the ballache of getting rid of them. Most won’t survive a move. Which is why a buyer has all the leverage and can offer tokens or 30% or whatever. If they are paying more then they are a bit naive or over generous I think.

    Pro-tip for buyers: to avoid this nonsense just state what you want as a condition of the offer.

  • Technically both parties are quibbling over a couple hundred quid.......
