Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

Time effort and money? It takes under 5 minutes ffs 😂 you didn’t have to agree to the discount, assuming they didn’t force you at gunpoint 🙄 taking the lightbulbs and toilet seats is incredibly petty too.

Yeah I think I paid £70 for a full set when I moved into a new build. Wouldn’t dream of taking them with me? Just chalked it up to being an unexpected cost of moving to a new build (assumed the developer would pay!)

The wheelie bins belong to the council and are attached to the property - no-one whose moved in my street has ever take them!

Most people can’t understand why you would have paid for wheelie bins, when they are normally provided by the council and stay with the property. If you can explain that then you might get some more helpful responses.

Although I’m starting to think this thread is a wind up.

Wheelie bins belong to the council where I live, the idea is you leave them with the house. Some householders have 7 bins. 6 x 240l and a 140l it’d take up half a van.

I’m a FTB, it hasn’t even occurred to me to ask for the wheelie bins to be left behind because I just assumed they would be. Never heard of anybody taking the bins with them when they move house. Are you sure it’s the buyers who are the problem here?

I agree with everyone else. You can't take the bins. And don't take the lightbulbs and loo seat either. How petty. I moved into a flat where they took the lightbulbs and tracking down a shop to buy replacements was just yet another thing to do on an exhausting day. It nearly sent me over the edge.

I can't work out if OP is lightly trolling us. Maybe not, as there really are idiots who take light bulbs and loo seats and bins and plants. If you really are taking those OP can you explain why? It seems such an odd thing to be petty over the small things when you are selling a house for hundreds of thousands, paying tens of thousands in stamp duty, moving costs etc, and probably getting a mortgage for big chunks of money. When you move it feels like just holding your wallet open for people to help themselves, for a while. But you factor that in, and you factor in replacing stuff, things getting damaged, the tablecloth looks stupid in the new dining room so you get a new tablecloth, blah blah blah. Why obsess over bins?

No.

We had to purchase our bins when we moved in so they belong to us not the council. I’ll be taking them when we move.

You sound like the people my friend bought her flat from, they took the door handles, light bulbs and light switches. Their biggest dick move however was to try and charge her £500 for an ancient free standing fridge. She refused but said she'd be happy for them to leave it if they didn't want it.

Tne day she moved it she found it dumped in the back garden with the door half ripped off.

Which council is this that doesn't provide bins.

How much were these bins, do you buy them from the council so they are all the same. we get ours provided free by the council, we can't just use our own bins.

1. It's not a discount you have kindly bestowed on them, it's a negotiated offer you agreed to. You could have walked away
2. In every move I have ever had, the bins have stayed as standard. The fact these buyers have needed to check suggests that you have been unpredictable about other things.

You're still bound by legalities and decent of selling. Don't be a dick

You're being massively unreasonable. I've moved a few times, and you leave behind the bins! Unless you paid for a second bin, then take the spare.

I bought an extra large rubbish bin and an extra large recycling bin. They were £90 each so theyre coming with me!

There are a couple of "croydon" stamped bins near me that i assume moved with owners as i dont live in croydon.

I've had three lots of bins. Never paid for them.
Never occurred to me to take them when moving.

Leave the wheelie bins you lunatic.

Ours all have the council name stamped on them and different colour bins for different types of rubbish, so it would look a bit odd if you took them to a new area.

Where the fuck do people live where they don't even get a proper council bin?

Eh? Of course you leave the bins... arent they council property anywat?

OP I think you're going to have to explain how it works where you live because all most people will have experienced is that the council supply bins to the house without any cost or 'time, effort and money' from the resident. They just magically appear and most people assume that they belong to the house and they leave them when they move.

You are being wierd. Bins stay with the house.

OP, if you are in the UK, then you need to leave a working lightbulb, so please don't take them, that is so petty, also, bins are normally council property, so again, unless that is not the case for you, then they need to be left. As for the ashes, take your gran with you.

Don't forget to take the light bulbs too op 🤣

Lightbulbs and loo seat on the packing list!

Who on earth takes their wheelie bin?
Are you also taking all the light bulbs, pulling up the carpet, digging up the plants?
Wheelie bins stay with the property, it's you that's the CF.

Where we are, the bins are council owned and stay with the house, except the brown garden bins that you can rent, and they say take with you. Where are you?

We bought our wheelie bins on new estate so technically ours to do what we want with
