New house purchase
Discussion
Hi Guys,
I have just been through the my first experience of being my first house with my girlfriend. All went pretty smoothly until we got the keys.
When we viewed the house there was a hot tub at the rear and we were asked if we wanted it for an extra 5k, we said no of course as it was 7 years old and only a 4 seater. However when we recieved the contents inventory this was included and hand written on to this and signed was the hot tub.
However the plot thickens further when we signed still there but when we picked up the keys and have gone to the property its now gone!
What can I do and do I have a leg to stand on?
Cheers,

guys thank you for your response.
To be honest you are confirming what I thought.
We did not want the tub because we didnt want it, it was because if price. The seller wanted £5000 for a 7 year old 4 seater tub which I found on ebay for £1200 for the same one. We just said politly we do not want to pay that much and left it at that.
When we recieved the inventory it was on there and when we asked the solicitor they confirmed that what ever is on there is included in the sale.
Im not that bothered if we dont get it just wondered more if it is worth persuing.
Cheers again guys

If they planned to take it, they shouldn't have put it on the inventory.
Regardless of whether you want it, I'd persue to teach them a lesson in stupidity.
+1 & if they won't agree to bring it back tell them your solicitor will drop the case if they give you 50% of the amount they wanted for it. tIf they planned to take it, they shouldn't have put it on the inventory.

ts.Just to add; before you think about pursuing the "return" of an item you previously didn't want (to buy for five thousand pounds) and value at £1200 consider how much it might cost you, both financially and in general bother to (probably) win the case, get the thing returned and then go about the bother of ebaying it.
Just my 10p.
