Replacing wall sconces for house sale

We are selling an inherited house and have said on the fixtures and fitting form that we will be swapping out some of the light fittings. I've bought pendant fittings for the ceiling lights, but not sure what to do about the three wall sconces?

I have some of these angled lamp holders – www.diy.com/departments/mk-angled-batten-lampholder/873723_BQ.prd, but do you think it would be better to buy three of these? www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/lloytron-flexi-desk-lamp---brushed-chrome-265911

Or any other suggestions for cheap wall lights? (Cheap because I'm pretty sure the buyers will rip them out immediately anyway, they are doing lots of building work)

After further thought I've decided to not be a cheap skate and buy the (still very cheap) wall sconces! I guess I just needed to type it out to make the decision. Thanks!

Correct decision.

What's a sconce?! I've never heard of one before! Confused

I'm not sure that's the right word but wall lights!

Don't doubt yourself! Wikipedia agrees with you:

"A sconce is a type of light fixture affixed to a wall in such a way that it uses only the wall for support, and the light is usually directed upwards, but not always." apparently.

And Houzz has lots of them

Never heard of it till today. I think I must have wandered in by accident from a neighbouring sconce-free parallel universe, that'll be it.
