Hey everyone, we’re in a bit of a pickle here. So, we’re just two weeks away from closing on our new place, and guess what? The sellers hit us with a curveball. Their agent dropped the bomb that they plan on taking the refrigerators and washer/dryers with them. I mean, seriously, we’re talking about 2 fridges (one in the kitchen, one in the basement) and 2 washer/dryer sets (one on the main floor, one in the basement).
Naturally, we were like, “Hold up, what’s going on here?” We politely told them, “No thanks, those appliances are part of the deal.” But get this, their agent had the audacity to send us an invoice to buy the stuff off them. I mean, come on, really?
We did our homework and checked the seller disclosures, and what do you know? All the appliances were clearly listed as staying with the house, no mention of multiple items or anything like that. So, what gives? Can they just change their minds like that?
We’re at a loss here. The contract was signed and sealed, and as far as we know, they’re trying to pull a fast one by taking things that were specifically promised to us. It’s like they’re playing a game of “keep the appliances or pay up.”
Update: I went back and combed through the contract, and guess what? Every single appliance is listed there, signed off by both parties. So, what now?
In short, the sellers initially said all appliances were part of the deal, but now they’re trying to snag the fridges and washer/dryer sets or get us to fork out extra cash to keep them in the house. It’s a sticky situation, and we’re not sure what our rights are in this mess.
So, if anyone has been through this before or knows the legal nitty-gritty, we could sure use some advice. Hit us up with any insights or similar experiences you’ve had. We’re all ears and could use a helping hand here. Thanks, y’all!
