We are selling our home.
The buyer is requesting to move items in our house prior to close (legal purchase), so to avoid storage fees. They will sign a document so we are not liable for damages.
Our lawyer says this is ok to him if they keep stuff in garage . They are now requesting this is not good enough as they will have to hire movers to return a few days later and bring their stuff out of garage and into home. They have small children.
I am conflicted because saying no to a full house move does not really jive with "loving my neighbor", as my reasons not to would be what if they damage the home or discover some problem that holds up the sale. On the other hand I feel like I am being kind by allowing garage storage. This also aligns with my lawyers advice.
What would you do? I can give them access to the garage or the whole house or nothing before they actually put down the money to buy the house...
