Strategy for selling a house - what is the best way to proceed?

I think taking the grids along would be pointless anyway, it was more about the question "should we negotiate a price for it, or is it included". :)

For example, I didn’t even think about it because they were permanently installed with us and therefore, to me, they were included. If there was an extra price, I would have mentioned it in the exposé beforehand as a purchase price. I think if you call a price for it now and they don’t want the pieces for some reason, you have to make the effort to dismantle everything or you end up leaving them hanging after all.

How sweet! :)

I just have a really dumb question:
Do insect screens belong to the house, meaning did we sell them with it? Or should we remove them / ask if they want to keep them?

We’re leaving them on because they are fitted to the windows and basically belong to the house.

For example, we’re taking the lamps with us, since they are purely a matter of taste and in my opinion not part of the fixed components of a house.

The mailbox is staying too.

The kitchen is included in the price.

It wouldn’t have fit in the new build anyway, and secondly, you only get a fraction of the price for it when selling.

The deletion approval has apparently been with their own notary since Thursday and is supposed to come back soon.

Such a call can probably help to speed things up after all.

I called ING on Wednesday afternoon, on Friday an email came from the notary saying everything is in place, and today the money arrived :)

I always phrase my inquiries as "whether they can already foresee when the ... will likely take place, because ..." Usually it is then done promptly. However, I always allow an extremely long time before asking (during the house construction sometimes to our (including financial) disadvantage) for things to be done, since everyone still has other things to do and I am not the only client in this world. ;-)

That is a very clever formulation! :) Exactly walking the line where the recipient is unsure whether to feel caught or mocked, but not yet legally insulted. Nevertheless, the content clearly says: "shame on you, you lazy bum, or else I'll tell your mom, and then there will be no chocolate pudding or maybe even a pocket money cut" *LOL* And people who usually only 'understand' house visits from the bone breaker laugh themselves silly without you being faced with a murder charge. So practically universally applicable with procrastinators and sly foxes alike ;-)

... that it is clearly said: "shame on you, you lazy bum, or I’ll tell your mom, then there will be no chocolate pudding or maybe even a reduction in your pocket money" *LOL*

That's not what I want to say at all, but rather to express respect and the awareness that I am not the only one who needs or wants something and that the capacities of the other person are limited.
