Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

[Sellthishousetorhosecunts]

Our lovely FTB 🙄have requested wheelie bins be included after generous discount… many unreasonable requests met!

AIBU to leave dead nan ashes under the floorboards & take the wheel bins as a summer plunge pool for the kids 🫣

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 😂

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?!

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.

Oh. Yes some places have bags not bins

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Light bulbs and skirts to be packed...

Only if the owner has painted it on. It doesn’t come numbered with property

Not read all the comments but where I live everyone gets one wheelie bin for rubbish from the council, if you need an extra bin (large family etc) you have to get 'permission' and pay for it, so that one belongs to us as not everyone is 'allowed' 2 bins! We took our extra bin with us when we moved, as wasn't going to pay another £50 to get another one!

Such a strange thought. But maybe a form of OCD ?

Hang on - you are calling buyers "cheeky" for wanting to keep something for a) AREN'T YOURS, b) came to you with the house c) came to you free d) you don't need?!! You are rude thieves, your buyers aren't cheeky.

OP YABVU, I've never heard of anyone taking a wheelie bin with them. Most of them have the house number on them apart from anything else. And taking light bulbs is extremely petty. I feel sorry for the buyers.

The more I read Mumsnet, the more I realise what an utterly wonderful, reasonable and lovely first-time buyer I was... yet the fucking estate agent didn't leave the customary(?) champagne for me!

Still angry about that 😂

Anything attached to the property, like doorknobs, can only be taken if agreed in the sale contract or if detached before the house is offered to the buyer.

But honestly who would arrive at their new house trailing their wheelie bins: you’d look like travelling rats. 🐀

I've self built a property and still didn't have to pay the council for a full set of brand spanking new wheelie bins and food recycling container. Took them an age to actually deliver them because they couldn't work out how to add our property onto the waste department database but that's another story!

When my mum and dad moved 40 years ago the seller asked if they wanted to buy the hall carpet for an extra cost. They said no, and he then threw something on the carpet which ruined it! Under the carpet was a beautiful parquet floor that they restored and proudly displayed the whole 40 years they lived there!
