Clarify which items you intend to include in a sale

Make a room-by-room list of what you intend to leave and what you plan to remove. Discuss uncertain items before a buyer relies on a photograph or a viewing. Keep your proposed list separate from what the relevant people have actually agreed.

Before you speak to us

  1. Tell us what you need

    Keep your area, budget and must-haves ready.

  2. Ask your questions

    Write down what still needs checking.

  3. Discuss the next step

    Decide what to check before going ahead.

What should your first item list contain?

Walk through the rooms and note furniture, equipment and fittings that may come up in the discussion. Mark your personal belongings separately. If an item belongs to another person, ask them before describing it as something that will stay.

Use a simple description that another person can identify. A general phrase such as everything included may leave important questions unanswered. Keep the list about the particular home and avoid using another property’s description as a shortcut.

How should photos and visits relate to the list?

Tell our team if an image shows furniture or equipment that you plan to remove. During a visit, explain the difference between what someone can see and what you propose to include. Ask about an item if the intended arrangement is still undecided.

Keep descriptions current if the home changes between visits. A photograph may remain in an earlier conversation after an item has been moved. Correct that understanding through the agreed contact rather than assuming everyone knows the change.

What should you clarify before a response?

Read a buyer’s proposal against your item list and identify differences. Ask whether their understanding includes a particular item before responding to the amount alone. A price discussion should not hide a separate question about what stays.

Keep any revised list with the people coordinating the sale and the next practical steps. If an item needs a closer condition check, leave that question open. A clear list supports the discussion without pretending that the presence of an item confirms its condition or inclusion.
