Our buyers have been to the house today for another look around before we exchange contracts in the next week or so, (we haven't told them we are emigrating as we heard that other ex pats have been given lower offers on their properties as they think your desperate to sell)
Anyhow..... they asked if we would be willing to sell on any of our stuff as they love the house just they way it is!! (result) Had to stop ourselves from biting their hands off and told them to make a list of things they were interested in and we would get back to them with a price. They want pretty much everything.. settees, dining table, fridge freezer, washer dryer. dishwasher, two of our T.V.'s curtains and our leather sleigh bed. Stuff we were trying to decide what to do with...
Things seem to be going smoothly :-)

silly question Sal,but, wont they wonder what you are going to use in your "new" house if you sell everything to them?
Right about the price situation though, one of our neighbours retired to Spain last summer and when the estate agent found out they were leaving the country they advised them to drop the price by 25k to sell quick! was only on market 2 days and sold to 1st viewer, ALL furniture and appliance's included. My neighbours were happy with that, but TBH i think they were robbed.
Good luck, hope the sale goes smoothly.
No Mark it's not a silly question. We told them that we were not looking for a new property until the sale is complete and that we were happy to negotiate the furniture on that basis.
When we almost moved 3 years ago we had sold up at the asking price, once they found out we were emigrating they dropped the asking price thinking we were desperate to sell. Needless to say we declined this cheeky offer.
