I think it was mostly understood that the OP was a post from another thread on another website.
Guess I didn't help matters when I said "you need to trust your buyer.", I should have said One needs to trust ones buyer.
Either way, I maintain that the seller is in as good a position as the buyer.
I would not normally say that, but as none of us know the exact circumstances no-one can argue the point can they

You have no facts to work with notnow.
I also have bought and sold my fair share of properties over the years. I've traded up, down, STR'd and god knows what else.
There is no set procedure imo whether buying or selling other than to make sure that all parties are happy with the deal. Time wasters and penny pinchers are always bad news though]

When we bought this house I was moving in on my own with a very young baby. I let the vendors stay on 4 days after completion since their new house wasn't ready - my solicitor had a fit. Yet even after that the b*tch took down every single curtain rail - I would gladly have paid for them rather than struggle to put up new ones on my own - and removed every light bulb.

She was p*ssed off with Mr B for having driven a hard bargain in the first place - this was her revenge. Mr B was working in the Gulf at the time - she was a very sniffy German and at one point during the haggling said, 'You are not in an Arab marketplace now.'

If she was German you're lucky that she didn’t take all the light fittings, wall sockets, kitchen cupboards and sanitary-ware as well
