To remove greenhouse at buyers’ request or not

Hi wise ones. Wanted to get your views on what to do re: the request from our buyers to remove the greenhouse we have in the garden before completion. We have listed it as an “include” item in the fixtures and fittings form.

It has a concrete foundation, and is not easily removable (it would require professional dismantling). It came with the house when we bought it a few years back. I would therefore class it as a fixture.

Can we simply say no to this request or is it best to get quotes for its removal and ask if they would be willing to consider splitting the cost? Or should we just suck it up and do it?

They haven’t specified, but I understand they have plans to completely redo the garden and put in a side extension so think it’s likely linked to this. It’s not the newest greenhouse by any means and could do with a clean-up but it works fine

They want you to remove the concrete base so they don’t have to.

Tell them they are welcome to remove it themselves any time after completion.
