First Time Buyer

Hello everyone! I really need your opinions to help! We are the first time buyer and target to move to our new house in the end of March/ April. We are happy about the house and the mortgage is sorted out. Our solicitor is helping us to follow up the paperworks and we have a few questions for the seller at this stage.

Firstly, the wall of the living room and the dining room has been removed, our solicitor asked the evidence but the seller side seems not want to provide anything. Do the seller usually provide something like a certificate for that?

Secondly, We understand that the furniture is negotiable, the seller only want to leave the hob oven and the dishwasher which they are going to sell us at £150... well, I meant... We are paying few hundred thousands for the house and they are asking £150 more... We think it is a bit intriguing and we are thinking to buy the new ones. What do you think?

Finally, we think this issue is one of the biggest concern, there is a really fairly crack behind a wardrobe (as shown in the picture), we asked if they can fixed that, but they rejected to do so and said they will sell it as it is. Shall we trying negotiate again? Or it is just a small issue that we should fix it by ourselves?

Thank you so much if you can share your experience!

Say you don't want the hob/oven - if they are gas though the vendors will have to get out a registered gas fitter to safely cap the gas supply when it is disconnected so make sure they know you will expect to see proof of this being done.
