Bug Hotels and house move - being silly?!

If you've moved house and have bug hotels or similar, did you take them with you? Or is it unfair to the 'occupants' to take them out of their environment? I have two quite nice new-ish NT bug hotels which are in use, so mason bees and similar have plugged up the holes with their young inside, I guess.
I know it's daft to even worry about it. I'm more concerned that the new owners will just bin them along with the live occupants tbh.
Am I being soft?? Maybe I should ask the bugs 😁

The bugs don't have to move because you are. Leave them alone, bug hotels are easy enough to build.

Ah OP, I'd be the same... can you ask the new owners if they would like to keep them and maintain them, or if you should take them with you?

Wouldn't they count as a fixture in your garden so you just have to decide whether to include them or not on the F&F list?

@CCLCECSC At the moment I think we're down as taking everything from the garden, pots etc.
