Two days before we're due to exchange and our glass hob has just spontaneously cracked. What are our obligations? Theoretically, it could have been like this the whole time and the buyer would be none the wiser as he didn't really check. However, we've signed a piece of paper saying we're including a working hob. I also don't want to be a dick. Do I just suck it up and get it fixed/replaced?
If so, what's the deal? Can I fill the crack somehow, or does the whole top need to be replaced. Electrolux do a flat fee call out service for £140, which seems like it could be good value if it does need replacing?
Is it particularly big or fancy? If no, go to B&Q and buy the cheapest thing they’ve got. New owners will probably rip out the kitchen eventually anyway.
I imagine the £140 is labour. Parts, ie the new hob you’ll need, will be on top.
