Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

Didnt your council provide them? ours did. Why on earth did you pay for them when the council will provide them for free. Hardly the neighbours fault if you didnt ask the council for bins is it

Why?

They belong to the address, not the homeowner.

It wouldn’t even occurred to me to ask. What if you move to a different council area? I have also put my house number on them. How bizarre.

why would anyone buy a wheelie bin when the council provides them?

where does one purchase a wheelie bin anyway?

I've just watched Hatton garden on netflix where £14 million was hidden in wheelie bins for a couple of days. Are these the wheelie bins to which the OP refers?

Didn’t realise you could take the wheelie bins! Aren’t they really council property?

but I feel your pain, we are moving and our Ftbs and a royal pain in our backsides!!! Over entitled and rude!

I think people are presuming these are council-provided wheelie bins when they seem to be ones the OP has purchased.

Never paid for a wheely bin ever (my last house we ended up with 5 garden waste bins, 4 black general waste bins and 3 blue recycling bins) Never considered them anything other than property of the local council.

Different areas have different sizing and colours of bins and you best be aware the bin men won’t empty the wrong colour or size of bin

Agree about lack of self awareness. 🤯This post has massively back fired, OP. Maybe next time you're automatically assuming that it's the other person who's BU in any given situation, you'll take stock and question if it might be you.

Yeah because no-one is taking that seriously.

If you are serious then you need quite extensive (and probably expensive) help.

Maybe it's you that was the greedy fucker asking over the odds for your house as you don't sound the sort to agree to a 'generous discount' out of kindness.
More likely their mortgage provider valued it lower or the survey threw up issues.

Take your wheelie bins (pay extra removals costs to have them moved) and light bulbs and look at them every day to remind you what an absolute winner at life you are.

(No one cba commenting on the ashes because it was obviously a shit joke)

wheelie bins are I assume provided by the council to the designated household. It is the property of the council actually.

Why on earth do you want to take a fucking wheelie bin with you?

Good God op, you really do sound like a piece of work. I hope I’ll never have to deal with someone like you.

Agree. The OP’s username says it all.

Are you moving inside the same council area? If so just politely say no. If you’re moving to a new area I’d check to see if they’re provided first otherwise you might end up with 4 bins to store which would be a lot!

Even in places where we had to pay for the bins there was no point in taking them since not every place uses the same exact bins.

Plunge pool? We actually use our wheelie bin in the lounge (too difficult to get upstairs because of a tight turn) as a sort of 'Japanese Deep Soaking Bath' At the moment we can only do this on a Thursday as the bins are emptied on a Wednesday.

As for OP's Nan's ashes - you can mix them with Polyfilla (power) and make attractive ornaments and literal ashtrays. For outdoor ornaments (e.g. bird bath, gnome etc.) mix with Portland cement.

This. You sound very bitter. If the buyers are that greedy and awful find some new ones.

It’s pretty standard to leave wheelie bins. I actually thought that technically the council owns them so not even yours to take.

But you sound very petty…

Wtf - who pays money for bins and leaves them to greedy buyers!?

its greedy to want wheelie bins? 🤦‍♀️ God this is why the moving house process can be so hard, no self awareness!

We left the wheelie bins and wouldn't have dreamed of taking them, our seller left the wheelie bins and I would have been very surprised had they taken them. Maybe it's different in different areas. I am really surprised the buyer even asked as I would have assumed they would be left.

We are moving house next week and I hadn't even thought to ask about the bins. I'd assume they'd be left. We are certainly not taking ours with us.

You sound like a nasty piece of work. I hope they pull out on day of exchange.

Would serve you right

My rubbish, recycling & food bins are provided by the council.

I have to pay an annual subscription for my garden waste bin so I cancelled that.
I'm assuming they took the green bin away after I moved out.

I'm sure this thread explains why someone had shat into the compost caddy left at my new house...
Something to consider OP!

Our new neighbour brought her wheelie bins with her - all 3 of them (2 rubbish 1 recycling)!!

First rubbish collection day she put them out together with the ones that were already with the house thinking she could get more rubbish collected but the refuse collectors refused to empty them because they were a different colour as she moved from a different part of the country. She didn't half moan when she had to empty the stinky contents of the bins she brought with her and put them into the 'proper bins'. 🤣🤣
