Try to check it yourself if you can or get your Property Manager to have a look at it before replacing everything with new ones. Also investigate more on how this happened as the tenant could more likely be at fault here and not a normal wear and tear type of damage.

Just keep in mind that if you sell a property within 12 months, you will be liable for a full capital gains tax. so make sure you take that into consideration when you calculate for your net profit.
