A buyer (who pulled out a few weeks before exchange) wanted us to make good all the holes from the tomado wire shelving that was going with us, 7 units so 27 holes in total all needing to painted over in 3 different coloured rooms.
that was a firm ‘No’ apart from the holes from coatrack in the common parts which obviously would need to be done.
will happily get the boiler serviced but i fail to see why we should do decorating for them when i’ll be walking into another property and having to start sorting the walls/holes out!?
before listing the flat the blown double glazing unit has been replaced plus new handle, sash window chord replaced.
every property is different but i would sort out broken stuff but bigger refurb stuff is for new owners. my partners flat has a brand new kitchen and everything else is clean and painted but the consumer unit will need updating and the bathroom floor has some cracked tiles, if a purchaser can’t take this on when spending half a million pounds then another buyer will.
edit: if they insist i would go round with a pallet knife on moving day and splurge some filler in the holes and walk out.
