I've asked the estate agent to send me all the photos they have on file. Maybe one of them will have the bath or the internal doors on it. We didn't expect this so didn't go and take our own photos.
Trouble is you probably can't do anythinng about it, they don't have to leave anything behind unless its on the inventory. You need to make sure the list is really specific, not that thats much use to you now :/
I'm sure there will be nothing we can do about it. I suspect that even if we do get photos proving the changes, the solicitor will charge too much to pursue it.

Nothing to stop you filing with the small-clams court, costs you about £80 if you want to mount your own case…. But if the court appearance subpoena doesn’t shake him to make a settlement you can then either drop the case or get a solicitor to make your case for you.
The photos are the best, but witnesses (the estate agent and the other people that looked around could be enough to make a CCJ stick in your favour)
It is however a good lesson to the rest of us…. Always to take a camera when viewing.
The estate agent might be a better bet, since the house they showed you around was not the one you got… especially if they are a big chain and can’t afford the poor publicity

We'll see though.

Taking bulbs is a but stingy in my book but doing what he did is just plane wrong. I despair of people some times.
Best of luck trying to get some recompense but it sounds doubtful to me.
