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 🫣

We got one on our last move but it was a very cheap brand. 😤🤣

@cwoffeee I wonder why the estate agents don't leave bloody pressies for the seller! We pay their fee!

The wheels bins don't belong to you - even though you may have paid for them - they belong to the local council. I have no idea why this is the case, but it is.

So leave them the bins and make money from it...

I’ve never heard of anyone taking their bin , you are being ridiculous

What an awful man, brilliant that your mum and dad found something even better under the carpet though, I love that.

My neighbours had an extra bin for ages, no idea idea where it came from but they were mighty pissed off when the bin men took it away one day as apparently you are only allowed 1 rubbish bin per property

Our neighbour moved here from London and brought her wheelie bins with her. They are completely different colours to the ones we use in this county, so the bin men don't know what do do with them, and she has a total of six wheelie bins on her drive now because the family she bought the house from left the bins behind like normal people.

Our estate agent left a card and a tea towel.

'Modernising' ruins a lot of things, I recall my Dad putting flush panelling over the thirties' multi-panelled doors which are now often considered very desirable. I've heard of Minton tiles in a hallway being covered by fitted carpets.

I live n a row of terraced cottages. They just have a small yard out back and an alleyway for access. When I moved in, I had a carpenter knock down a bit of the wall and fit a wider, non-standard gate, so I could get my motorbike in and out. So I had a spare gate. And my neighbour didn't have a gate, for some reason. So I knocked on her door and said, you are welcome to that gate in my yard if you want, and she muttered that 'someone will be round to get it'. and a couple of days later they had a nice gate fitted. Well I'm sure posters can guess where I'm going with this: yes, when they moved (property is owned by a rental agency, and there's been a steady stream of tenants), they took my bloody gate with them!

I'm not sure you can get them here but in Germany we used to be able to buy some transfers for the bins, the whole thing could look like it had flowers growing up it and they looked far better than the black plastic sides though then there weren't the multiple bins there are now.

You're supposed to leave the bins. Are you sure YOU aren't the awkward ones?

No.

Weirdly the house bins in my experience stay but the garden waste. Not in my area. My dh had to wheel our garden bin from the property we sold to our house because the council said we should of taken it with us.

The amount of people that made funny jokes while he was walking it here…

Who takes a bin when they move? Dread to think what other unreasonable requests they’ve had?…. For you to leave soil in the garden 🤦‍♀️😂

All my neighbours have bins, but we've all bought our own. There's no bin bags strewn around. As we've paid for them we all label them with our house number and street name 😂

Bonkers

I’m loving that taking my wheelie bin is unreasonable but popping a teaspoon of nans ashes underneath the floorboards to haunt the tight fuckers hasn’t picked up on…

OP, I would view nan's ashes as entirely reasonable

In all the houses I have bought and sold, I have never taken the wheelie bins with me! Is this really a thing?

Unless of course you live in an area, like I do, where you have to buy your own. Then your bin does, in fact, belong to you.

I would leave it if I moved, though!

To a PP, yes it's a Tory stronghold. You should see the price list for bulky waste collection! I can understand why people fly tip if they can't afford it. I think you have to pay at the council tip now, too.

What’s wrong with the word nan?

I was going to say Yabu but I live in an area where the council provide wheelie bins so they are seen as part of the property and something that can be ordered from the council if unavailable when you move.

They probably do an informal assessment of clients: you were teetotal and I was cheap booze. 🤣

We bought an extra recycling wheelie bin from the council at our old house. We did take that one with us when we moved (within the same council area). But we left the standard 3 behind.

I assumed you always leave the wheelie bins. Otherwise, you would have to take the ones from your new property back to the house you are selling.
