To think that these vendors are utter twunts?

[YoungGirlGrowingOld]

I don't think IABU but wanted to vent and ask advice.

Completed on our new house yesterday. Was in London for work so went there today to find that before moving out the vendors have dragged all their old mattresses into the garden (along with some - now smashed - glass items) and set fire to them. I would post pics but I am not clever enough...

I started cleaning up all the other shit they left behind and realized that there was an entire fireplace missing. It's a funky modern ish gas fire thing and I clearly remember it and liked it. Despite ticking the "leaving gas fire" box on the SPIF form they have removed it and replastered the fucking wall. Have just gone back through the estate agents info and the SPIF from the solicitor and there was no mention of them taking it.

I was willing to overlook the massive turd upstairs in the bathroom as an aberration, but I really think they didn't like us!

Anyway I have photographed everything and emailed the solicitor and I know I have legal redress, but AIBU to feel aggrieved that I have to share a planet with these utter cunts? I mean seriously, who does this? I know it's a first world problem and I am lucky to have a house and legs etc, but c'mon - it's really very twattish, no?

Lovely news - congratulations !

Congratulations!!!

Friends of ours bought a VERY expensive house just over a year ago from someone Very Important (well, she seems to think so, anyway). When they moved in, they found that all the upstairs carpets (which were included in the fittings and features) has been ripped out. Friends were suitably enraged. And then a few days later, the carpets arrived back by van as apparently they didn't fit in the new house. But friends were expected to pay to have them re-laid. The brazen cheek!! There were various other things wrong with the house too that the vendors had managed to hide/cover up during viewings, like that the plumbing was completely shot.

Hope the Twunts pay up too.

Happy ending for anyone interested....vendor has agreed to pay our handyman to sort out the remaining bits of crap (but let's see if they pay up ) Much more importantly, we just got a BFP!! So with a bit of luck, there will be a tiny terror running around trashing the place before too long

Thanks for all the help and advice lovely vipers

we bought off an owner who had rented it out. it was filthy. previous tennent had allowed lodger to burn and bleach a three foot circle in the second bedroom carpet and there was engine grease all over the paintwork. there was orange something growing in the shower and dust you could hoover your name in under the bed. I should have been warned by the state of the place not to marry him! he is now an ex.

Loving the bird table purchase!! Nothing like buying new things to make it feel less like a house of horrors.

[YoungGirlGrowingOld]

I must admit the potato electrocution did make me chuckle. Obviously not until well after I had determined DH was unharmed.

We are getting all of the gas stuff including the boiler checked by a British Gas engineer - so many of these things have actually been done maliciously that I just want to be safe. (Or as safe as it's possible to be with a gopping pile of twisted metal and glass in the garden!)

I have gone away with work for a few days so I have left DH with a list of orders stuff to do. The cleaners will have been before I get back so I am hoping that I will feel a bit more fluffy towards Amityville after I get back.

I did buy a bird table from the RSPB today for the garden which has cheered me up a bit. My reasoning was that the wee birdies needed somewhere to land without slicing their feet open. DH said my priorities were "interesting" which I am taking as a compliment

[Queenbean]

I am agog at what I'm reading here!

What are some people such horrible twats?! Hope it all gets sorted OP, hopefully won't take the shine off your new home and will just be a story to tell in the future

[oliviaclottedcream]

YADNBU..What horrible, conniving bastards.. Try to forget them OP. They don't deserve your attention. After a while when you've made the place yours. These petty, greedy scum bags will be but a distant memory. .

[wheresthel1ght]

Sorry electrocuting himself with a potato has properly made me laugh out loud!! Younggirl make sure you laugh at the bits like that, it will save your sanity!
