I recently made an offer, paid a deposit, and secured a property through the modern method of auction. The seller kindly agreed to a £5k reduction, on the condition that I clear out all their belongings due to their overall fatigue with the situation. I'm quite enthused about the property and am envisioning it with a few pieces of remarkable '60s furniture they've left behind.
However, the thought has crossed my mind – if the seller has a change of heart, am I left with no recourse? Should I have obtained this agreement in writing for my own protection?
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
