On rare occasions sellers have been known to alter their initial intentions. We would therefore advise any prospective purchaser to verify exactly which items are included prior to completion of purchase. In the event of an owner removing items which they had previously indicated were to be included this will be a matter between the new owner and previous owner and HoliHomes Ltd. Cannot be held responsible for such misdemeanours.
