Hi there,
I am selling an apartment, in the past week the purchaser has sent back signed contracts with the deposit to my solicitor. In the contract they had handwritten in a clause requesting all the kitchen appliances. This was never agreed on the sale of the property when we went sale agreed. We sold for a cheaper price as we were not including these items. Now at the last minute purchaser has said they will not go through with sale unless they get these. EA and solicitor have said we do not have a leg to stand on. After a lot of frustration we agreed to this but purchaser has not come back and said he is happy yet. We are worried he might start demanding more furniture. Can he do this if it has not been put on contracts? Our solicitor has said the contracts are not binding yet as they have not yet been sent back to the purchasers solicitor even though he has signed them and sent deposit and my partner and I have signed them also. Do we really not have a leg to stand on. I do not want to lose sale but cannot afford to include anything else. This is very upsetting, purchaser is being so ruthless and I feel I have no rights at all.
....They know we don't have the time to hold out ....
i'll give you option number 3
they said we want a fridge washing machine etc....
they have not said it must be your ones. ie you could go onto Dublinwast.ie (this site is for people who want rid of there stuff for free) and get some free ones and leave them there. this way you complete the contract and still have your white goods
Thanks for all your advice everyone. Its just upsetting cos they got the property for way below what we wanted and the only thing we stipulated upon going sale agreed was that they weren't getting the white goods. We bought them ourselves, they cost us a fortune and are less than a year old. We are getting nothing with our new house. They know we don't have the time to hold out and they seem to be very shady individuals handwriting this in at the last minute. If they were in a position to demand more then I know they would. I just wasn't sure if they could do that. They may only be kitchen appliances but I just feel like they are robbing us now, taking us for all were worth.
you must be joking me, we have had to put a lot of extra money towards it.Are you not making enough profit on moving house to be able to buy some new appliances??
