  • Do find this amusing - yeah the house is £4/5/600,000 but the washing machine will be another £50!

    That said, we got £150 for curtains and lightshades that we'd otherwise put in a box and probably take to a charity shop in 5 years time. Also said we'd leave our washing machine (it was on its last legs) which then annoyingly broke so I had fun sourcing a replacement for as cheap as possible.

  • People's aren't coughing up £600k just like that though - It's amortised over 25 years, and paid monthly, which is what people budget to - You're really quibbling over £50 against £2,500, at a time that you've just spent all of your readies on solicitors & other nonsense.

  • I know exactly what you mean, but it all adds up. Especially with the extra, often overlooked expenses of house buying. You have to draw a line at some point or you are just money gunning everything. Also, most people are agreeing to slowly buy the house from a bank, not drop £600k cash. Borrowing an extra 10K might be £40 a month on your mortgage.

    I do find it funny that the form asks if you are including the light switches, roof insulation, radiators and electric sockets. Who takes the insulation with them?
