If they are determined to leave it get it all listed as fixtures and fitting at an appropriate price, purchased separately. There will then be no stamp duty payable on that portion. Of course, the saving probably won't be enough to cover the removal costs.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@ntlworld.com saying something like:

In addition to at least some of the rotten things already mentioned, vendor on my last purchase had the electricity switched off (company fuse removed) on the very day that we moved in. Really nice to have no lights, no fridge, no phone, not even a bloomin' cup of tea.
The electricity company did get someone to refit the fuse before the evening had become too dark (well done). The very person who had removed it a few hours earlier - who absolutely could not understand why they had done so and had been waiting for the call. Our solicitor not impressed but little they could do. Ironically, they would have had beeter grounds if the fuse had not been refitted so quickly.
Why do people want to upset the people who bought their property? At least at the time, that feels like the only possible explanation of some of the behaviour.

Because the bastards beat them down on price.
The house that was here, before I rebuilt it - had been on the market over a year..I went in with a very cheeky offer, and moaned to the estate agent that that was all the mortgage I could afford, but I was not in a chain, and I got it really cheap.
They took EVERYTHING that could be removed in half an hour with a screwdriver..Not a single curtain, decent curtain rail, lightbulb, toilet roll holder, nothing.
But luck on the bright side - it saved you having to strip it all out before your rebuild!
If you were cheeky why were you offended?
Scrambled egg ... Omelette ?
Paul.
They're egg, not milk ...
How do you make scrambled egg without milk?
The message from snipped-for-privacy@technologist.com contains these words:
Rarely. Don't use milk in an omelette.
The message from John Cartmell contains these words:
Badly, but then it's pretty foul stuff anyway.
Simple. Just leave it out.
The results are far better.
But that doesn't produce 'scrambled egg'.
Yes it does.
Simply use a little butter and no milk.
Break eggs (3) into a bowl, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Beat with a fork until the eggs do not stick to the fork. Put 2 teaspoons of butter to melt in a small pan. Pour in the eggs. Cook over a *low* heat, stirring all the time until the eggs thicken.
The technique is to remove them from the heat just before they are set. Cooking will complete while they are being served.
People make the mistake of using milk and/or cooking them too fiercely and/or not keeping them moving all the time in the pan. Getting scrambled eggs to be perfect is a skill that is not difficult but it's a matter of seconds either way.
This method and served with Aga toast. Perfection.
Use of milk typically results in lumpy bits in liquid which is completely wrong and unnecessary - the type of rubbish that is served in breakfast buffets in hotels. This should be a capital offence like serving of hot food on cold plates. hanging isn't good enough for that crime.
crème fraîche, fromage frais will do
Butter=preserved milk in this case - ie substitute. It's *not* the same recipe with the milk left out as you claimed.
There are dozens of different recipes for scrambled egg. Milk is one thing that can be used with the eggs, butter is a second, cream is a third and so on.
You said that in the sbsence of milk it is not scrambled egg. That is not the case.
With a more open mind, even you could make it properly.
Yes. It's also possible to use ordinary cream or even extra virgin olive oil.
You need milk or a milk substitute. You'll note that your substitutes are all milk products.
No. You said that you can make scrambled eggs without milk by simply leaving out the milk. You cannot. I said that simply leaving out the milk produces something other than scrambled egg. That's correct.
Actually you don't. It's perfectly possible to use olive oil or even sunflower oil. The only requirement is some form of fat. The main issue is to cook it very slowly and carefully, keeping it moving and knowing when to stop. Most people add milk because the can't do these things. The result is lumpy bits in liquid.
Wrong. My precise words were "Simple. Just leave it out"
I made no comment at that point as to alternative possibilities.
