Remember a builder who lived close to here ripping everything out - including the central heating - when the house got repossessed. The people who bought it found he'd saved on the costs of skips too when rebuilding a wall - all the rubble just tipped down into the cellar.
indeed - in the sense that it's pure fantasy...
That seems like false economy because only a cash buyer will be able to buy it. Without a functioning kitchen and bathroom, I believe most mortgage lenders will either decline or impose nasty conditions.
There are many things that are fixed to the wall that are not classical fixtures and/or fittings: musical instrument hangers, A/V system, TV, wall-mounted speakers ...
Well, if you are bankrupt and being repossessed?
The standard form my solicitor passed to the sellers required them to make good any fixings removed from walls. Possibly as a result, they left all the fixings in the walls, even when the item had been removed. Actually, there were quite a lot of very fine pins in the walls which had had things hanging on them - they had attached a piece of sticky paper tape to each pin, presumably so someone didn't accidentally lean on one having not noticed it.
It's a pity picture rails have gone out of fashion.
I'm not sure what happened in the end. It was some time ago before house prices went up by a silly amount every year. And if he still owed money on the house, it being repossessed may not have covered what he owed. And ripping everything out would make it worth even less.
