Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

Light bulbs and skirts to be packed...

YABU for using the word 'nan'. Stop being so nasty and spiteful. Why are you even selling your house to someone you clearly despise?

What a delightful user name 🙄- just how much was the "generous discount" given that you consider leaving a couple of used wheelie bins to be unreasonable.

Surely it is you being greedy not the buyers with the price you are asking for the house.

You need to leave the wheelie bins anyway, (unless you brought them with you when you moved in ). If you bought them from the council, even if they charge you for them or a replacement, they remain the council's property and belong with the residence.

If you bought them yourself from somewhere other than the council then you probably can take them, though I'm not sure I'd want to

We left our wheelie bins when we moved, wouldn't have occurred to us to take them. However we arrived at the house we had just bought to discover the previous owners had indeed taken the wheelie bins with them. Just bizarre as they are very wealthy and could well afford to buy new bins.

Oh. Yes some places have bags not bins

It's like at my dads 6miles away didn't me

What the actual eff am I reading? Who on gods green earth takes wheelie bins with them when they move? Never heard of this in my life, leave the bins (as requested, and also as is normal to do). So strange.

I recently moved - it wouldn’t have even occurred to me to take my wheels bins with me! I just ordered a new one when I arrived at my new house as there wasn’t one there. Why would you consider taking them?!

Yea we had to source and buy our own too at a previous council. Our current council only give you one small bin, if you need a new/bigger one (even if the bin lorry damages or eats the bin) you have to source and pay for your own new bin.
consequently bins are hot property.

No wonder fly tipping and recycling rates are so crap in this country.
It should be one simple system for everywhere.
No blue bin is for this in one county but blue for that in the county next door.
Box for this, sack for that.
Pay extra for this, but not that.
Use bags, don't use bags.
Etc etc.
The whole country needs a simplified and matching system.

I’ve moved house 8 times and never once have i taken the bins.

I assume they'd be left. Funnily enough our sellers left very clean bins and a filthy cooker!

Tight is a seller who removes things like door handles and light bulbs. One friend moved in to find the fitted oven had been removed. FTB are probably advised to be careful. Leave the bin . Some sellers leave a bottle of wine to welcome the new buyers.

Hell yeah I'd take the bins AND the fence between us and them-on-the-right as we paid for it, why should others get the benefit, the rotten tight so-and-so's can cough up themselves 😂

That's not true, we had to buy ours!

But that's only just happened. Until a couple of months ago you had to provide your own bin, and most people (in my part of Cornwall anyway) didn't have wheelie bins. In fact, most didn't use any bin. Just stuck bags outside on bin day with sheets over the top to stop the seagulls getting them.

So if this person was selling their house 2 months ago in Cornwall, the council would have had naff all to do with what bin she had.

The bins won't really be empty on the day. There's always something to throw away!

OP you sound like you absolutely hate your buyers. Username calling them cunts for a start! Why so angry? Surely you can not be this hateful over a wheelie bin?

The collection of brown bin waste is attributed to an address that pays for it annually. At least in North Wales it is.
(Nephew is a bin man, he loves brown bin days as they are easier)

I hope you realise just how petty you sound @Sellthishousetorhosecunts (but then your username reflects your attitude)

Ok, on the vanishingly low chance the OP is serious…

You do not own your wheelie bins. Your council owns them.

You paid a fee to your council to have them. But they remain the property of the council (check your local council’s website, they will make that point in the small print). The charge to the householder is to cover the cost of supplying a bin for your use, but it isn’t your possession.

(This has been true for every council in England I’ve dealt with, I can’t speak for devolved regions.)

Were you to buy a wheelie bin privately, the council doesn’t have to empty it.

@Sellthishousetorhosecunts , if you want to disrespect your grandmother by tipping her remains under the floor like trash, go ahead. Be as petty, spiteful and nasty as you feel able. It tarnishes no one but you.

I don't think wheelie bins are your own personal property anyway.

They are 'loaned/given' to each residence from the borough council in order to put each home's household waste in.

Your new residence will have wheelie bins. You don't need to take your old ones, especially if you're moving to a different borough council.....they may have different colours!!

I'm reading the thread and I'm beyond surprised, I'm flabbergasted 😳I

I've bought properties in Spain and Australia and when you make the contract for sale, some items included are non-negotiable. Wheelie bins, light fixtures, toilet seats ...even curtains and dishwashers are essential items in Australia. Once you sign the contract for sale, you'd be liable for anything you take under the contract you signed.

Wheelie bins are free from the local council. If one bin is missing, you contact the council and will be delivered within 2-3 days.

I should stay out from these threads, it's obvious different countries work in different ways.
