Have got an offer on my house which, for understandable reasons given the price bracket, is at £250k which is lower than I wanted. Have another offer at £265k on hold as that buyer lost their buyer. Need to sell so trying to be sensible.
I asked my EA if they could go back to the £250k offer and ask if they'd be prepared to offer a couple of grand for chattels, which, given that I've got nice curtains, curtain poles, light fittings, a garden shed, dishwasher, freezer, washing machine, is not an unrealistic amount.
EA flatly refused and said it would be tax fraud. I thought that was very odd, as I paid £2k for chattels (different ones!) when I moved in. And I'm pretty sure (dusty memories from law school) that all of those items are properly defined as chattels.
Not quite sure what to do about this! Who is right?
