Received the fixtures and fittings forms from the vendors yesterday (they're selling and acting on behalf of a deceased lady - presumably their mum).
They want £6000 to leave the fitted kitchen units...
(And a total of £3500 for built in/fixed wardrobes across 3 bedrooms, which I am less fussed over)
Nothing was mentioned at viewing, or when in contact with the estate agents - this has come out of the blue. My solicitor is away until the middle of next week, so looking for opinions before I speak to the solicitor.
If I'd known they wanted to remove the kitchen, we would have reduced our offer to account for that..
Or is it more likely they're being CF and trying it on, and I should call their bluff?
Not 100% an AIBU, but I guess - AIBU to expect the fitted kitchen to remain...fitted...when buying a house?
(Excluding white goods)

Respond by saying it's customary to leave all fitted items and your offer was made with this in mind.
Should they wish to take the fitted items with them they are welcome too, but you will be reducing your offer accordingly as you will have to factor in replacing the said items.
CF are trying to raise extra money. Don't play that game. And don't expect any lightbulbs or curtain rails, they have shown their true colours now!

May be they misread the form or ticked the wrong box? Easy to do. Deffo query it and if it’s true, renegotiate!

Unlikely as they've given the price they want for it!!
