We've accepted an offer on our house and I've received one of those forms from the solicitor to indicate what fixtures and fittings we are leaving.
We accepted the buyer's first offer because it was what we were hoping to achieve for the property. I guess we could have held out for more but we didn't see the need.
Anyway - curtains! Our new house has completely different sized windows and with the exception of two sets (which could be shortened), none of our current window coverings are transferrable to the new house. It seems churlish to remove them when we can't use them, but at the same time, they were faily expensive and all made to measure.
Because we accepted the first offer, we have an inkling that the buyers are able to find the funds to pay for the curtains, if they want them.
Do I charge them or just leave them? HOw do I know what to charge? For example, we have some Hilary's blinds in the family room that came to £550 (5 years ago). I wouldn't have the foggiest what to ask.
Any opinions?
