They took the light bulbs and the loo rolls

A very common scenario when you move into a property, is to find that the seller has taken everything, sometimes literally down to light bulbs and loo rolls. The shit and has even stop you having one!

Always inspect just before your lawyer, pays over the money on completion. You should be fully aware of what is a fixture and a fitting. Unless it says so in the contract, the seller cannot remove any fixtures in place on exchange.

Many buyers instruct solicitors or conveyancers who offer a cheaper service. Fair enough but if a dispute like this comes up you need to consult the experts.
