Completed yesterday, have the money
Relatives house ,I’m trying to keep on top of situation ,but I’ve a difficult home life ,and I don’t live anywhere near the sold house.
They got us down £20000 of the asking price,
Elderly relative in rest home ,needs money to pay for care .
Cleared out relatives house as best could ,left some rubble in garage, due to Covid no one would remove .not a huge amount.
They are asking us to pay for a skip to remove rubble
Dh says I’m giving relatives house away as it is and he reall y disagrees if I pay for a skip for them.
It’s a huge plot of land ,and I too feel annoyed they pushed the price down.
AIBU to not pay for a skip

At least you’ve paid for it now.

If anyone else had wanted to pay more for the house you’d have accepted. This was the best you could get, they didn’t owe you more because you wanted it. Appalled you and your husband felt so entitled and considered fucking them over for it. The house sold for its value. No one else was offering more.

@SoupDragon

Read the thread! She paid for the skip!!

🤦🏻‍♀️

Why would they break the habit of a lifetime? I mean, it's not like you can even just click a link and see all the OP's posts to make it easy is it....

The cost of the house is not relevant

Glad you saw sense

@Pringlemonster, OP, I hope your relative has the capacity to appreciate how much you helped them.
Selling can be very challenging and doing it from 6 hours away, during Covid and with your own family issues... it must have been tough 💐

Give yourself some slack! 💐
It’s done now and maybe you can relax a bit and only focus on your own / closer family. Try to make the most of the weekend 🤞👍

Cheeky sellers left us half a double garage of their junk when we moved in. Then had the cheek to say that it was there when they moved in and didnt see why they should take it. My very lenient husband let it go and we paid for a skip ourselves. I wouldnt have let them off with it myself.
