  • If items such as sheds are included in the estate agents description, must they be included in the house sale at the price agreed or is there nothing formal to say they must? I ask because we had our offer accepted on a house on the basis of what we read and what we looked at during a viewing. However now, 6 weeks later, the vendor has decided to not include items in the sale and added costs in the fixtures and fittings eg shed £250, bathroom cabinet £100, wood(!) £80. It doesn't add up to a vast amount but annoying when we have paid over the asking price and included everything in our own sale.

  • I don't know about the legal aspect, e.g. whether the description is binding, but I think they've probably just misunderstood the fixtures and fittings part, or they're absolute chancers.

    I would suggest calling their bluff - tell them you don't want any of it and see if they think it's worth dismantling and removing their shed during a house move.

  • That's going to be our ploy, can't think they will want to take a shed that probably fall apart, huge cabinets that will need dismantling.
