Removing outside lights

Harry Macdonald
I have been asked to remove 6 outside lights prior to the sale of a house.

Apparently this has been agreed with the buyer and all suggestions that they leave them have been rebuffed!

What is the simplest, cheapest way of making the installation safe? I don't want to be mean and cut the wires, not that this would be safe anyway! 

Some are switched, some photocell operated.

    Wouldn't it be a good idea to ask the vendor why and how the prospective buyer wishes them to be removed?

    The purchasers may wish to change them, therefore the cabling may be useful.

    They may wish for all signs of the electrical wiring to be removed and don't want any reminder of something they dislike.

    Who knows? ... but the outcome is different.

    On the other hand it may be the vendor being difficult perhaps wanting the lamp fittings for their own use or removing them just for spite.

    I'd find out.
