Transfer Nest to new homeowner

[JimD1]

I sold my home, moved a couple of weeks ago and the new owner has asked us to transfer ownership of the thermostat so they can use it

You can advise the new owners that's not necessary, but you should go into your Nest app or Google Home app (as appropriate) and delete it from your account. The new owners can remove the account connection as below so they can setup the device as their own.

Nest Thermostat (2020), Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen)

1. On the thermostat, go to Settings > Account > Disconnect.
2. Follow the setup steps: Get started with your Nest Thermostat - Google Nest Help

Setup these models using the Google Home app. The QR code and setup key are physically printed on the back of the thermostat for Nest Thermostat (2020) and will be displayed on screen for Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen).

Nest Thermostat E, Nest Learning Thermostat (1st, 2nd, 3rd gen)

1. On the thermostat, go to Settings > Reset > Account connection. If you don't see this option, you'll need to select All settings.
2. Follow the setup steps: Add your Nest thermostat to the Nest app - Google Nest Help

Setup these models using the Nest app. The QR code and setup key are in the settings on the thermostat itself and are not printed on the device.
