Is this expected/legal when buying a property?
I'm a FTB, and going through the process. Today I received this from my EA.
The seller wants some additional money to keep certain items in the flat.
Is this normal, especially for items like the boiler and carbon monoxide alarm?
I'm also reviewing the survey report and smoke alarms are either disconnected or completely removed.
Cheers

Edit:
This is part of the windows section that the surveyor wrote. Some of this work might be costy. https://freeimage.host/i/2tZiAUN
I'm feeling a bit deflated right now, considering that the negotiated price for the flat ended up £13k more than the asking price, and now this.
2nd edit:
The EA called me saying he's sorry as there's been some miscommunication between him and the seller, and that the boiler, carpets and fire doors will stay. I asked them to provide a ta10 form. Such a cluster fuck.
3rd edit:
New demands lol. I don't really need any of these. The seller is asking the same amount of money.
