Not all the data on your Mac is protected by your Apple ID.
Did you give them the local admin name and password?

You would logon to your icloud from a browser. I believe you can detach/drop your laptop from the list of your devices.
You could change the password so there logon files. I suggest you change the password anyway since they may be able to find it on your old machine. I'd be sure you know all your recovery data in case the account gets locked.
I have not experienced this issue, so all info is conjecture.
