What did you actually tick on the particulars form? There is usually a few options for a free standing cooker, hob, or oven. A £20 plug in worktop hob might cover you if it’s just cracked induction glass and it falls into the interpretation of one of the above.
The buyers have probably forgotten about the cooker/planning to install their own anyway, unless there’s actually picture of the cooker itself on the listing I wouldn’t worry.

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?
