I have just received paperwork from our solicitors including the fixtures and fittings list on the house we are in the process of buying. The vendor is taking all carpets, light fittings, gas fires and surrounds. Is this normal? We are not too bothered as it needs complete redecoration so we planned to take the house back to brickwork and replaster before we move in (luckily we have somewhere to stay) so we can put in cables etc and avoid all the dust this entails. We were not planning to remove the carpets straight away due to funds but apparently the ground floor has parquet floors through so we can live with that. Upstairs would be just floorboards (presumably he has to remove the underlay if taking carpets?). It will save us the bother of removing and disposing of the carpets but might be difficult if the floorboards are in bad condition (splinters etc). We are first time buyers so not really sure what to do regarding this? Is it unusual?
