to say get out of my new house

[itispersonal]

Completed house move yesterday morning now legally owed the house but the seller is still moving stuff out this morning. I knew it was going to be late yesterday when she got all her stuff out so left her last night after initially going round at 5.30 yesterday evening with the view of her being all out. Got there 8 this morning with a view of cleaning top to bottom but only the kitchen hasn't got stuff in. Luckily we still have our house until tenant moves in beginning of month, but surely she is taking the proverbial now.

Have rang estate agents but not sure how far to push her? Aibu to give her til midday and then after that what's left stays... Though then I'd probably be left with all the crap!

Can you get hold of your solicitor? Appreciate it's Saturday though.

Has she said how long she'll be?

I'd go and stand in the ( your) hallway looking pointedly at my watch!!

She's had enough time!

She's not even insured to be there now, and you're not insured for her to be there.

Call 101 and ask them? She's trepassing, surely? I don't know the law though.

We had this by the way. We started moving in regardless as out removal firm had been waiting for two hours after completion time.

Tell her you would appreciate knowing how long she is going to be, she seems like she is taking the piss big time, bet she didn't want to move really and is on a go slow on purpose.

Chuck her out. That's beyond taking the piss.

I think you would be on tricky legal ground to tell her she can't take her belongings - they are hers, not yours (unless it was agreed in the purchase of the house that some things were staying).
I think you just have to suck this up, annoying though it is. Perhaps she has been let down by someone who was going to help her move her things - or she is just very disorganized.

That's ridiculous. What if you had a moving van outside. Tell her you'll be back in two hours and she needs to be gone by then.

Box her crap up

What's her 'attitude' op? Defensive? Apologetic?

Particularly as you still have your previous home to live in and are not waiting outside with a van full of your furniture - stay calm, ask her for a timescale. You could even offer to help her move things out.

Push her hard, you have nothing to lose, the house is already yours.

Get the estate agents to do as much talking as you can, but stay at the house, with other people if possible. Maybe you could offer to help and just tip her stuff into boxes and then leave them outside. If you do one room at a time then at least you can get on with cleaning the rooms that are empty while she finishes.

Giving her until 12.00 is more than generous. Unless you have just moved into a mansion, this woman has had more than enough time to move her stuff out already.

Did she let herself in this morning? Or stay over night?

One things for sure... She's out stayed her welcome and you should get the locks changed ASAP.

Push her hard. It is not her house and she should not be in it.

Charge her!!

I really want to know why she is still packing up! What's her story?

I'm back at old home now as would have been hovering about and on my old as Dp at work.

I appreciate it was last minute Wednesday she Got the go ahead for we were definitely moving on the Friday and she hadn't got a van sorted on the Wednesday and someone let her down yesterday but thats why we left her to do it last night and came home. Thinking it would all be done.

Yea I don't know what happens insurance wise as she in my house unsupervised.

She was eager to move and has been pushing for a date!

We had this last time we moved. Our solicitor contacted theirs & politely informed them that it was 'fine' but we would be charging them £200 for every day they went over the deadline. That seemed to focus their moving efforts.
Thinking about it, sil did something similar too. Dh & I where there to help move, but she just kept flitting off out, he disappeared & I was left. New owner came round, big bloke, not too pleased, he shifted most of the stuff out onto front drive. And I let him. Got into 'trouble' for that one, but not too sure what she was expecting me to do - odd woman.

How is she gaining access?? It's your property now, you need to make sure she doesn't have keys and make it very clear she's outstayed her welcome, socially and legally.

I would set a deadline, letting her know just how reasonable I was being to allow her to still be there. Midday the day after completion it beyond reasonable. Stand there watching until she has gone.

I thought you HAD to be out of the house at the point of completion? Yet she's still there the next DAY?

What does the Estate Agent/solicitor have to say about this? Isn't there some kind of penalty clause for situations like this?

You cannot legally appropriate her possessions! You can box them up and stick them out on the street if that floats your boat but suggest you just suck it up and clean each room as its emptied. By tomorrow it'll all be over.

My friend had this. Her movers just helped moved all the previous owners stuff out and left it on the drive for her to sort and pack up at their leisure.

That way you can get on with the cleaning.

I wouldn't be rude but be firm and give her a timescale.

Why Should the op suck it up ? It's her property. Doesn't matter if she has another place to stay at the moment. The woman should have been gone yesterday.
Op give her her marching orders and tell her to move her arse. You are moving in today and if that means all her stuff gets chucked on the lawn then that's how it is.
