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 🫣

Surely people don’t take their wheelie bin when they move.. I would have just assumed that everyone leaves wheelie bins where they are!? I think it’s a bit petty to take the bins personally..

We pay to have our garden waste removed by the council, £40 per year, but that doesn’t give us ownership of the bin.

I had to buy my garden waste bin from the council and there's a £65 a year fee to have it emptied. As far as I'm concerned that one is mine

Edit: whether I took it with me would depend on whether my new house was
under the same council and the attitude of the buyer.

If you move into a new property in my council and there’s no bin you have to buy one. If your bin is stolen/set on fire etc. you have to buy one. This is for all bins. They are not council property.

I will leave all the bins when I move - not least because the bins are different in the area I will be moving to - but if moving locally I would take my garden waste bin because that’s an extra paid for service and not everyone has a bin.

They are anxious FTB who dont know that the wheey bins should be left behind anyway as they belong to council not you. They're just trying to cover all the basics

I've bought and sold multiple times and you always leave bins, they are supplied buy your council free in most places in England. You had the option to walk away if you felt that they were unreasonable.

Have you sold a house before because you're being weird. If you didn't like their offer, you would have refused?

So why agree to the cat flap discount? Presumably only for a couple of hundred quid anyway? It's not really fair to then remove all the useful stuff in revenge. You either agree the discount or you don't, surely. I don't really understand the issue here

This thread has opened my eyes to problems I never knew anyone could have.

You need to let it go op but leave the bin.

If it's actually your bin then I guess you can do as you like!

How much do they cost?

Were you honestly planning to schlep grotty bins with you? That's madness.

This is so ridiculously petty.

Wheelie bins belong to the house.. who wants the expense and hassle of moving a wheelie bin?

I dug up a plant from DM's garden when we sold after she died. I'm glad I did as it's still going strong in my garden years later and the new owners dug up all the plants in the front garden. There's a couple I wish I'd taken from the back garden as well as they dug up everything in the back garden as well (it sold again on Rightmove, I didn't go and check!)

How much was the cat flap discount?

And strictly speaking, if it's in the photo or description unless specific marked as not included then it is. Our range cooker for instance was stated as not included.

They negotiated a discount for the cat flap?

Why on earth did you agree to that? It's not as if they would have pulled out of the sale if you'd just said no.

How big is the cat flap and has it caused structural issues?

I’d want a big discount for a cat flap, because I’d need to replace the door, and they aren’t cheap! Perfectly reasonable request.

I can answer this! We don't have wheelie bins here. Everyone mostly just uses either a normal/old fashioned round dustbin that they buy from a shop, or just puts the bags out on the kerb.

The collection is a team of about 4 people picking up bags (or struggling to get them out of the odd wheelie bin people have also bought from a shop) and chucking them manually in the back of the bin lorry. It's not a lorry that can pick up bins.

We took our bin when we moved, but all the recycling malarkey stayed with the house. We paid for an optional garden waste wheelie bin, (which does get picked up by the lorry) and a subscription to empty it. If we moved to the same council area I'd probably ask the council if we can take it and not have to pay the lump sum for the bin again.

My mum has a rose in a pot which she took from the garden of her childhood home after my grandparents' house was sold. It's already moved house once. I'm not sure whether she grew it from a cutting or dug up the whole plant. I think having that link to the house she was born and grew up in has helped her to come to terms with life moving on. She is also connected with the buyers on Facebook and really likes knowing that they are now raising their young family there.

Both times I moved the buyers took the bins! And one house we had to wait almost a year for new bins!

Blimey, I hope the buyers aren’t expecting a fully fitted kitchen. 😶

Well .

thats enough crazy for me today
