What should I do about this?

I wondered if anyone has advice on how to approach this or maybe even knows the legal position.
We are renovating. So sold our old kitchen (a new one will be going in and they are extending this room). The agreed deal was the buyer should remove it all and take it away, hence it was particularly cheap. He showed up, paid but did not come with an arranged van but a car and so took only half the units around 10 days ago. He has left the other half still in our old kitchen area where the builders are trying to plaster and the electrician rewire. They are not at all happy. There is even one unit still attached to the wall. We are now away and have house sitters. I can't expect them to deal with this or even remove it. The builders say it isn't their job either. I have messaged the buyer many times (and I can see he has read them) and tried calling too - getting no response. I have set deadlines to pick it all up and these have passed. The builders have given us one instead - tomorrow. Where do you think I stand legally in just getting the builders to skip it (their preferred solution)? I have nowhere to store half a now dirty, shabby kitchen.

How did you sell it? How were you paid?

Message buyer with a deadline or you will assume unwanted and dispose.

They paid cash. But when someone pays I am concerned that we can't just dispose of it. But how long are we supposed to keep it when we have nowhere to put it?

He probably took what he wanted and left you the rest to dispose of. Maybe it wasn't what he thought it was going to be when he got there. You've given him a deadline and he's ignored it. Skip the rest. He broke the contract with you and has ghosted you.

What's he going to do? Ask for cash back? Did you give him a receipt? If not, what cash? He hasn't got a leg to stand on.

In the bin with it. You gave him a deadline, they’ve ignored it. Keep the messages as proof though

Given this was 5 months ago, I imagine the OP isn't still waiting to see!
