Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

Hmm how much were the bins? I’ve changed my mind after reading your updates.

cat flap discount is relevant assuming it’s through a wall and not a door?

Well you do have to pay for them now with a lot of councils so not sure if that's legally true.

Not that I think people should take them with them if they move

The wheelie bins are property of the council not yours personally.

I mean you could have said no to the cat flat discount. We had a nervous FtB with a shit solicitor who tried to insist we pay for the local authority (it was an ex LA flat) to carry out an asbestos survey of all the communal areas.

We firmly but politely refused and got on with the sale. No need for vindictiveness.

We moved in to a new house and had to buy the bins £150 for three!!

We moved a year later (temporary accommodation) we left them as it was more grief to take them.

Sound what discount did you give for the catflap?

So

they requested a discount because the door has a cat flap….well now I’ve heard it all. Why did you agree to it.!!

Im going to reverse my suggestion because
they are petty and
You have to buy your bins in your area and
you’ll have to do the same when you move
they are your bins not the councils.

Blimey OP - you think you are being funny but you just sound angry and vindictive. Even your user name is aggressive. Chill out. Life will be much calmer if you do.

My god - I just thought wheelie bins came with the house 😂😂😂 learn something new everyday

I think we can all see where the problem is in this process. You sound vindicative. Your nan isn't going to haunt them, they won't care about a little extra dust under the floor boards, and if they do find out nan will just end up in the council landfill via their hoover and the new bin.

Utterly bizarre that anyone takes wheelie bins with them. Seriously very odd but then again, you think ashes can haunt so enough said, really. 😂

Why did you agree to a discount for the cat flap? They knew they were being CF asking for it but it sounds like you capitulated.
How much discount did you give them?
Sounds like they wanted a little bit more off to make them feel like they've got a deal, a bit like on Bargain Hunt when they say 'Would you take x ' after asking 'What's your best price?'

I have always left the bins even though I paid for them from the council.

Please don't be that person to take the light bulbs and loo seat, you're coming across as petty. Your house is nearly sold, go and make lovely memories in your new home

If you’re not happy with the price you’ve agreed then you should have said no. Not said yes then start being petty and tidy about wheelie bins and grans ashes (which no one would care about other than you and maybe other family members who would be horrified that you would do that to a loved ones ashes).

You sound like the kind of person who would just leave their pet.

I know round my way the council own the rubbish bin but the garden waste bin we own & it cost £100 to buy plus an annual fee. If we move within the borough the council say take the bin and they send you a sticker with your new address to put on it. If you move outside the borough you leave the bin, they collect it and give you money back.

It would never cross my mind to take wheelie bins with me on a house move.

Well .

thats enough crazy for me today

Blimey, I hope the buyers aren’t expecting a fully fitted kitchen. 😶

Both times I moved the buyers took the bins! And one house we had to wait almost a year for new bins!

My mum has a rose in a pot which she took from the garden of her childhood home after my grandparents' house was sold. It's already moved house once. I'm not sure whether she grew it from a cutting or dug up the whole plant. I think having that link to the house she was born and grew up in has helped her to come to terms with life moving on. She is also connected with the buyers on Facebook and really likes knowing that they are now raising their young family there.

I can answer this! We don't have wheelie bins here. Everyone mostly just uses either a normal/old fashioned round dustbin that they buy from a shop, or just puts the bags out on the kerb.

The collection is a team of about 4 people picking up bags (or struggling to get them out of the odd wheelie bin people have also bought from a shop) and chucking them manually in the back of the bin lorry. It's not a lorry that can pick up bins.

We took our bin when we moved, but all the recycling malarkey stayed with the house. We paid for an optional garden waste wheelie bin, (which does get picked up by the lorry) and a subscription to empty it. If we moved to the same council area I'd probably ask the council if we can take it and not have to pay the lump sum for the bin again.

I’d want a big discount for a cat flap, because I’d need to replace the door, and they aren’t cheap! Perfectly reasonable request.

How big is the cat flap and has it caused structural issues?

They negotiated a discount for the cat flap?

Why on earth did you agree to that? It's not as if they would have pulled out of the sale if you'd just said no.

And strictly speaking, if it's in the photo or description unless specific marked as not included then it is. Our range cooker for instance was stated as not included.
