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 🫣

Your local council doesn't supply your wheelie bins?? WTF??

I did when I moved 😂 only because I had a large bin. The house I moved to had a single person bin so I took mine with me, took the small bin to the old house and emailed the council to tell them why and where I'd moved to. They were fine and let me keep it. I just put new stickers on 😂

Sorry, busy packing & not just the bins - although unscrewing each lightbulb means lots of candle lit dinners 🙄
-they requested £1500 off for the door (oak), we agreed £750.
We have exchanged, the fixtures and fittings form is as it stands. The bin is joining us, the removal company said it’s becoming a normal request, so there you go mumsnet it’s the the times - vote well July the 4th

lastly to the person who said the word nan was the most offensive thing. Nan was a nan. Although I may be wanting to put her under the floorboards (some may feel this is disrespectful) she did like the hoover and I’m sure she will enjoy the holistic journey.

I've never known anyone not leave the bins. They're not yours and taking them wouldn't normally do you any good anyway. What use would I have for a wheelie bin of the wrong colour with the name and logo of the wrong council on it?

This thread is still going and people are still not reading further than the first post and still saying bollocks like 'the bins belong to the council' - aarrgghhh!

As me and others have pointed out, there are councils that don't provide wheelie bins and you have to buy your own. Amazingly, these councils have somehow acquired bin lorries that can empty wheelie bins of any colour, from any shop.

Yes, it's clear from this thread that my council tax is a joke but I bought my wheelie bin and I'm bloody well taking it with me when I sell. I'm tempted to write a will requesting to be buried in it 😂

It's become a normal request to move manky wheelie bins, full of rubbish for the sake of what, £50? God I'm glad I have standards.

It’s not just £50! It can be upwards of a £100 just for two bins, more if you have more bins and crates. Plus if you read the thread - some councils are telling people to take their bins with them. So you take your bins - which you can always clean with several buckets of hot soapy water.

You think taking a wheelie bin shows no standards and I think your bragging £50 isn't a lot of money shows no standards

I mean yeh cuz taking the bin is weird but everyone leaves their nan under the stairs right??

In the context of selling a house - no, £50 isn’t a lot of money nor would I be going to the hassle of transporting used and therefore dirty wheelie bins for the sake of it

@goldenretrievermum5 not even if the council told you to???
now that’s wierd.!

I do find it very weird that you and OP seem to be part of the tiny (and questionable) minority of people who are asked by the council to bring their bin with them when moving house. Somehow in my 50 years and countless house moves I have dodged this so called ‘rule’

@goldenretrievermum5 aced how to tell me you’ve not read the whole thread……! 10/10

there is a sizeable amount of posters who have said they a) have had to source and buy their own bins and several who have said the council have told them to take their bins with them. Even movers are saying it’s increasingly common to take your bins with you. Entirely likely as more councils become cash strapped that these two things will increase as a way of reducing expenditure, after all a lot of council now charge extra for green waste collection despite that once being commonly free to households.

And yes, I’ve moved a lot around the Uk in my 60+ years!

Normally I’d agree with you, but our council have just made us buy new bin boxes for recycling as they broke our other ones - when we move the boxes I bought are very much coming with me!!

Are you for real
who moves house and takes the fucking bins
unless you are moving down the road what would be the point!?
I wouldn't ever have asked as a buyer I'd have downright assumed the bins came with the house 🤯

The wheelie bins stay with the property. They aren't yours, they belong to the council

I’ve never thought of this scenario before I had to buy mine Council didn’t provide them.. don’t know what I’d do now after reading these comments 😂🙈
