    We were told all items in the house were included at the time we paid the deposit.
    If it was the EA that told you, you should have got it in writing as anything that an EA says may not be true - many EAs have a disclaimer that the purchaser should satisfy themselves as to the quality of any statements made by them.

    Anything that was said to you before the contracts were signed doesn't mean Jack, I'm afraid. EA's will tell you almost anything to secure the sale, so I'd take what they say with a huge pinch of salt. The fixtures and fitting left by the vendor are supposed to be listed in the contract as others have already pointed out. What can't speak, can't lie!

    As a lot have stated above contents must be listed in the contract. Our solicitor advised a final viewing with the EA the day before closing to ensure the house was in the condition as stated in the contract. In our case we wanted no contents. We checked the house and found it had half been cleared. There was stuff in kitchen presses and in the attic and the vendors had agreed to no contents in the contract. In this case we're going to try deduct the price of a skip from the price paid to the vendors' solicitor. If you had agreed furniture and it wasn't present at the final viewing there is time to negotiate replacement furniture or a cash alternative.
