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.

Yeah I think it's daft for sellers to expect top bucks for stuff.

My mate just paid £600 for 4 sets of curtains for the house he's buying, which he seemed to think was a bargain.
