I appreciate the points your making, but there is still one point you haven't touched on that I brought up and a few others.
You may be able to convince a seller that it is an attractive offer to put to buyers - I can see the attraction to potential buyers but
This work your saying will be carried out post exchange and pre-completion. Do you really think you are going to be able to convince the seller that on top of taking a chunk of the sale money (I appreciate the arguement that the kitchen fit may get the seller a better price) but on top of that they need to more than likely move out early, which in turn means putting house Clints into storage. This is another large expense as short term accomodation is not cheap yes some can move in with family and friends but not always possible.
This is another expense that needs to be covered and dependant on the house and requirements could be into thousands.
Finally the ultimate risk is that the sale falls through. An exchange of contract is not final, only means that the buyer loses the deposit. That may cover the cost of the kitchen, but will it cover ALL costs incurred, especially if the seller has moved out early and considering all the other costs that can be incurred from the other side of their move if in a chain???
Its a risk to any seller when they are the ones covering the costs!
