Right, solicitor said unless stated in conditions, property is "as is" within reason.

Buyers solicitor sent through 30 photos, of "items of concern" - 90% were so anal and nitpicky it wasn't funny. ie: some jars left on a ledge. Some house paint in the shed. A padlock without a key (and it wasnt locked).

So can guess what solicitor on our side said... :D

Fun times. Anyway, tomorrow is d-day, so will be interesting to see what happens.

there's what is legally required but then there is "good form".
How hard would it be for you to get rid of some old jars, a rusty old padlock and some old paint?

This gets more and more entertaining........ settlement refused over a brand new dishwasher :D

Old dishwasher packed up while house was on market. Old one removed and new one arrived but not installed. Is in the house.

FML.

Suspect its more of a tactic to draw things out so they can finish getting themselves sorted......

I'm going to get drunk tonight and not worry about it.

having installed a few dishwasher, I would want it done if it had one and not sitting around uninstalled - they can be an A... to get in at times and who know if it DOA or not.

I suspect your lawyer was "What the %%^%$!!"

Yeah, sounds like they are wanting to drag it out, or maybe they are just @ssholes :)

They are presumably forking over many 100,000s and they are beefing about a new dishwasher not being installed......

Mind you, after we settled on a place (which we were totally going to gut and renovate) the vendor came back asking for the doormats, and a potted lemon tree... unfortunately they had been the first things into the skip bin :)

Even the agents are "WT....F". Theyve taken it upon themselves to organize installation of the washer at their cost. So good on them for that..... so maybe settlement can slip in before everyone goes home....

I've been sent photos of what theyre asking to have removed.... and OMFG. Anal.

Even asking for tree branches that came down in bad weather to be removed from under the trees in an area of the yard you cant even see from the house. And a few tins of paint from the shed - which is FOR THE HOUSE.

Off to solicitors tomorrow to sort out...

Fun times :D

I'd be trespassing them from the property at this stage. Just to play tit for tat.

Hang on,

if the seller of the house has decided to take the current dishwasher and replace it, it’s pretty given that they should install it before leaving…..it’s not the purchasers problem. (Unless the S&P specifically said dishwasher (not installed).

No, the dishwasher that was there died couple weeks before auction. So a new one was purchased but just not installed.

Even the agents cant understand why its such an issue, as the new owner is just renting the house out, and all they say is "no dishwasher" on the rental details.

They're just stalling for time, but its going to start costing them in interest. The agents have now taken it upon themselves to install the new dishwasher at their cost, as they want the sale to complete so they can get their funds as well.
