House move: vendor leaves junk behind

[:::Jerry::::]

Why the TV aerial, all she needed as a bit of wet string IME !....

Most are...

My son bought a house up north (job move) When he turned up to move in the house was full of people Puzzled and perplexed he asked who they were The previous (German) owners had employed a firm to clean the house from top to bottom. He was most impressed.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Tother way about. I am about to sell me mumshouse and teh garage is like this.

Just get a skip and skip the lot.

Onve contracts are exchanged, unless you want to take someone to court, what you see is what you get.

[The Natural Philosopher]

You are, but the cost of getting the 150 skip charge back will probabl rn into hundreds itself.

[The Natural Philosopher]

I am certainly going to happily pay for a skip on the house I am selling.

Why make trouble for 150 quid?

But the bloke may just ignore you.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Not woryh the paper.

I had one of those and every single light fitting was remvoved and bare wires left behind...and every single curtain rail taken down.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Funny, that. I remember my mother going to help an aunt do just that when they moved out. That was in Aberdeen.

[Chris J Dixon]

Unless memory is playing tricks, exchange of contracts happens up to 4 weeks before completion, when you actually own the property. Between those dates a lot may (or may not) happen - the previous owners cannot be expected to have everything skipped at exchange.

Never mind charging him extra, he'd be lucky to avoid prison time for criminal damage if the mortgage lender decided to get heavy.

[junk]

When I bought my current house there was all sorts of junk left behind in the loft. My Dad and I had a rumage around and we found an old briefcase which had a whole load of documents and stuff relating to the freemasons. My Dad reckoned it would be worth something and put it in a local auction and got a couple of hundred quid for it. So there can be treasure in that junk.

Get a skip, for a 100 quid, on a house move bill, its a drop in the ocean. The solicitor will charge you this to deal with it.

The vendor has left a pile of about 50 bricks in the garage. So, if they want a war...
