Yes I have been really unhappy with the agent and even though I have expressed my concerns to them all the way through they are really dismissive of everything I say. Can't wait for the whole thing to be over.
Does the purchaser have any rights here?

If the lawyer is a set price type.
If you're paying in 6 min lots you might be better to cop the $500. Phone calls, letters, fax's etc soon amount to $500 from lawyers who are on the clock.
edit - the more I read about this case, the more I wouldn't care about throwing good money after bad. Punish them.

You don't have any legal obligation to clean anyway! (Only a 'moral' one, if you want to be nice.)
Well I do prefer to be nice but then when people **** me off I tend to go a little far the other way! LOL. If they push it I will be making sure everything that does not actually belong at the house is removed, since they want to get so silly about it. Haven't heard anything else yet this morning so maybe they have backed off.
That's disgusting.
Seriously, if they wanted a new, clean, lemony fresh house, they should have built one.
They are still arguing it! They are refusing to settle on Friday unless I agree to them withholding the $500. This is all because of the roof tiles.
My solicitor is being a tool too and she said we can't charge them penalties because of clause 24.4 "The purchaser may nominate an amount not exceeding $5000 to be held by a stakeholder to be appointed by the parties if the property is not in the condition required by general condition 24.2 at settlement"
24.2 states "The vendor must deliver the property to the purchaser at settlement in the same condition it was in on the day of sale, except fair wear and tear"
I pointed out that the house IS in the same condition as when they purchased it, except for the tile I have actually fixed. Once she realised the tiles were actually already broken when they signed the contract she agreed with me. I told her to make sure she says they will be charged penalties if they don't settle on Friday.
They want to go back to the house this afternoon and look at it again.

It's not the actual agent that was in charge of selling my house but another one that works there, but no I wasn't told. I just found out with a bit of snooping
The purchaser seems to not have a facebook account anymore so I can't even prove they were!I have told my solicitor the most I will agree to is $50 for some tiles. And that is being generous since you can get an entire square metre of them for that price!
I am very tempted to get some friends to go and take some wood. Only trouble is there is no access to the backyard without going through the garage which is locked. And I am WAY too tired to drive down there to open it. Although they could probably just jump the fence and throw it over, might end in nosey neighbours calling the police though!
