To fill or not to fill...,

Just exchanged and only been given a week to pack and get out!

Taken TV off wall and have filled the largish hole (wires went through wall and returned near skirting board) . We have removed the bracket but there are umpteen cavity rawl plugs in place.

Would you remove and fill them (most probably badly) or leave them in situ? Chances are the buyers will mount a tv in the same place.

Push plug in as piglet said, blob of filler and smooth. Don't repaint - they'll do that to their own taste. Voila - damage minimised and they can still see where not to drill.

Or just leave it. No one is going to sue over a few holes and plugs. Happens all the time when people take down pictures.

some metal plugs are strangely wide and have a screwdriver slot. They are used on plasterboard and are screwed in. They won't push in. You could unscrew them without pulling.

Might try that but if I create any damage I will be leaving in situ.
