Recently sold a property and took everything. Apparently all fixtures was ticked as being left. Buyer is now kicking up a fuss and taking it legal.
I offered to give them back the poles but the curtains were mouldy so discarded. They kicked up a fuss saying they cannot let the place without curtains and its costing them money. They want the labour to put the poles back, it takes 5 mins as the wall plugs are still in.....
So they want to go through legals, won't this mean that the property will be unlettable for longer and in any case what she does with the property is none of my business so why did they even raise this as a point. Our issue is with the curtain poles and curtains.
Can they sue me for taking them? For context we are talking about TWO poles which cost less than £30 from Ikea!
I thought some goodwill had been built up as I helped her with post completion queries such as car parking, access doors etc which are downstairs. Something her solicitor or herself should have been able to point out from the plans.
I also left a free standing fridge freezer which did not form part of the fixtures list. Can I ask for this back?
