As title, just accepted an offer on a house, and the buyer has come back asking for the kitchen appliances that are still there.
These are all nearly new, and I told the EA that I would take £XXX for them (fridge/freezer/washing machine) which she has passed on to the buyer.
The buyer has come back saying they sort of expected them for nothing.
Now, as this is the first house I have sold, am I being tight in asking for cash for the appliances, or is the buyer being a bit cheeky?
Half of me is thinking I should just let them have them, the other half is sightly annoyed because I accepted their offer which was a bit under asking and now I think they are just trying it on.
 
TBH I thought I was doing them a favour saying they could have them for £100, it would save me messing around selling them separately.
I just feel if I give in to this what else they will try on.
 
I'm going to make some assumptions. Being the first house you have sold it's the first house you bought. You were a first time buyer. The house is a typical FTB house. The buyer is a FTB. They are probably stretched financially and thinking they will have to spend £500 on appliances is one step to far.

Maybe, maybe not.

Nope, selling it as an executor, it's a 250k detached house. I offered all three appliances (fridge,freezer,washing machine) for £100. More than reasonable I thought.
