Selling our house - what to do about dodgy oven?

[wejammin]

We're in the process of selling and buying, hoping to exchange next week.
Our kitchen is pretty old and dated, in need of new units, floor etc.
There is a big double range electric oven included in the sale, we don't need it as our new kitchen has a built in oven. Our buyers have seen the range so know it looks fairly old and there's a few buttons missing, also the clock doesn't work.
About 12 months ago the fan element stopped working, I called the manufacturer who were no use and couldn't advise anything. I called an oven repair man but his call out fee was unaffordable for me.
The oven still works fine on the non-fan setting, as does the grill and the small side oven.
I've just realised we've not mentioned this to our buyers. They've been quite difficult throughout the process and we're so close to exchange that I don't want to give them any reason to cause more issues, but I've got this niggling guilt that we should tell them.
Should I wait til after exchange? Or just leave a note when we move out? WWYD?

Ok I'm reassured about the oven. Thanks, it's another worry ticked off my (long!) list.

I've bought two houses with dodgy ovens and neither time did I think to complain to the previous owner!

The first one the thermostat had gone so it worked, but cooked everything at maximum temperature. It wasn't very nice anyway so I was always planning on replacing it.

The second house the oven was absolutely disgustingly dirty (as was much of the rest of the house). We paid to have it cleaned and the blasted thing broke about a week later (think it was the shock of being cleaned!). Again, never thought to complain to the previous owner, and I'd never had them checked in the first place.

If they do complain, suggest they seek compensation from the people that inspected it, not you. It was sold as seen. If it's a range cooker, there's a chance they might not even realise it's even supposed to have a fan anyway!

The day we moved into our house (and the other family were still there past the time they should have been) we ended up having the gas man come out because the oven was leaking gas and it was condemned.

We had no come back.

I bought my house with an oven. Except the extractor fan doesn't work, only 2 hobs heat up, the oven only works on 200 degrees and the glass was missing from the door when I moved in! It was on the kitchen side! I couldn't be bothered to do anything about it as the paperwork only said she believed it was in good working order. Yes, she lied but not worth my time to chase it. I wouldn't tell them personally!

Unless the person specifically asks or try's the appliance to see if it works you are not lying.
People move in to houses all the time to find things don't work but that's just the way it goes.
You tick a sheet to say what you are leaving behind, not does it work.

When I bought my house they took the oven they were supposed to leave. And removed shelves and left holes in the walls.

She was the village post person and used to have to come to my house and knock on the door to deliver parcels. I never asked her where the fuck my oven was even though I was sorely tempted.

*unless the wording has does it work lol
