Hello everyone. My husband and I are first time homebuyers and we are purchasing a 2 bed 1 bath town home. We currently rent next door to the home we are purchasing from our neighbor. This past week our neighbor knocked on our door asking us if we wanted to “buy” the bathroom cabinets. She let me see the house and she had removed dinning room (dry bar type with quarts counter top and glass door uppers) from the wall and was replacing the baseboards in addition to the bathroom cabinets. Our purchase agreement outlines she can take the kitchen island and upstairs wardrobe, and is replacing the washer/dryer but leaving all other appliances. We noticed at the walkthrough that other appliances in the basement (mini fridge/deep freezer) were also taken. Our realtor has said seller is willing to return those appliances but won’t give any cabinet allowance. Do we have a case to push closing due to this? Are there consequences on our end as buyers doing that? Sellers realtor forgot to put it in the purchase agreement that seller wanted the custom cabinets she’s claiming are “family heirlooms” because her brother in law made them. Rough estimate for replacing custom cabinets is $500-800 since it’s a smaller space (917 sq ft). Not sure if making a fuss over $500 is worth it. But also frustrated this is happening in the first place.
Closing Day: Monday August 18th 9am, our realtor is checking the property for the returned appliances before hand.
