Is it usual to include freestanding range cooker in house price?

[Babychewtoy]

Would you expect a freestanding range cooker to be included in the house price, or would you expect it be offered for buyers to purchase for an additional cost if they wanted it?

(whole kitchen and range cooker are 3 years old in good condition)

I read up on advertising law about this some time ago. The OP should do both. Then there is absolutely no room for misunderstandings.

We paid extra for ours, but they stripped everything out including the carpets, so not really surprising.

We will leave ours and if our sellers try charging us for theirs or say they're removing it, it may cost them the sale. Why be so tight when we're potentially paying them hundreds of thousands? I don't understand the mentality.

I'd except seller to take, unless offer for property was to include certain items.

Sounds fine, I’ve bought two properties - both included appliances free standing

Do you have to state there's a long dead mouse in ours? Asking for a friend 🐈

I'm surprised that the consensus is to leave a range. I would absolutely expect an AGA to come with a house because they are not 'freestanding', and we will leave any integrated appliances (dishwasher/fridge/freezer etc), but some ranges are expensive, and it would be a question I asked when viewing - I would not assume it was staying.

I guess it would depend on the age of the appliance. We have just spent a significant sum on a new SMEG range and would not expect it to remain; if it were a dealbreaker if it went, then we would negotiate, but in our last two moves, the previous owners had taken their cookers/ranges and it was explicitly stated on the particulars that the cookers were not included in the sale.

Agas definitely get moved. It’s a job, but they’re expensive and people who have them love them so rather than spend between £15k to £20k on a new one (or less on a potentially unreliable second hand one) they take the one they know. A hassle but they think it’s worth it. If you can afford to run an Aga, you can probably afford to move it.

@Panicmode1 It also depends on whether the seller can use it in their new property. There may already be a range there. Or if they are downsizing, no room for it.

If it's a fancy one maybe sell it. If a normal one I would hope it's included and would be unlikely to buy it unless around £100.

True!

I guess what I was getting at is that I would not immediately assume a free standing appliance, particularly a range, would be staying!

Yes I agree, as a buyer I would probably question it.

Anything removable from fixtures and fittings needs to be listed as either included or at a cost. It’s quite simple tbh.

Just specify which. If you say its separate then be prepared to move it plus I'd be measuring the size of the space to ensure I van find a suitable replacement

I'd expect all large kitchen appliances to be included. Usually they can't be bothered disposing of the broken ones before you move in.

Could be risky to try and get them to pay for it then. If they say no you will have to get it disposed of.
