Very difficult buyer from the outset. We had an original sale and purchase, that fell through when our buyers pulled out. We then sold the house again and by this point had lost our original purchase so found a new house.
We instructed solicitor (via email- main form of contact both from us and them) that we would require a new fixtures and fittings form as we would not be including the same things (due to new purchase, new things left). They sent one.
We were delayed in sending it back as we waited for our sellers to send us theirs, so we knew what they were including. I sent it to solicitor via email- it excluded some items but offered them for sale. We never had a response, so assumed they didn't want to purchase them. We removed them from property ( a shed and a dishwasher).
The buyer is now seeking recourse from us due to believing that they were included. Solicitors have not admitted guilt, but I can only imagine that they sent the original one in error. The buyer says her recourse is to me and then I have to make a claim for compensation to our solicitors. But we don't have the money? What if we don't get the compensation but have already paid out.
This is all so bloody stressful.
