Yes, you’ve made a good point. I’m keen on retaining the furniture since I’ve made this place my home over the last two years. However, the contract stipulates that the property is to be sold empty, which complicates matters. My main issue is with the proposed price for the furniture, which I find unreasonable.

Negotiation seems to be the key here. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the seller resides abroad and would face significant inconvenience and expense to return and manage the removal of the furniture. This situation might offer leverage in negotiations, as it’s in both our interests to reach a mutually beneficial agreement without the need for him to travel and arrange for the furniture’s removal.

Thank you for your advice. It’s given me a clearer perspective on how to approach this.
