Buyer keeps asking us to go back and collect items

[Saccol]

We completed in my late father in laws bungalow 2 weeks ago. We were contacted as the buyer did not want items we had left ( believing them to be useful ). We duly collected these items as they were not fixed. They then contacted us again 3-4 days later asking us to get rid of more things again spare tiles etc which we again collected and disposed of. They have now asked us to go back again to remove a fixed coal bunker, the fixed shelves and workbench in the garage and a tool storage in the shed. The property is 100 mile round trip for us and whilst we have agreed the other items were not fixtures and fittings we are now becoming exasperated by them wanting us to go yet again and collect. The estate agent agreed they were now taking things too far and that we should block their number and that their solicitor would advise them that this was not something that we should have to do. It’s now two weeks after the sale and by no means is the property vast so they should really have listed all the items when they moved in. Do we have to remove these items as this is becoming very stressful

tell them to sod off and block, they’re chancing their arm with this latest request ! The entitlement of some people!

I was going to say headpillowhit is on at least one of the other property threads I’m following & is doing exactly the same thing to that OP despite being apparently super chilled at a BBQ.

Hallelujah, that nightmare poster appears to have been banned. She was all over tonnes of threads today being unpleasant to just about every OP.

And paying off her mortgage 😂

I’d ASed her just before she’d vanished and she’d posted hundreds of times just today. I thought I’d recognised the username.

We have bought houses with some stuff left and just disposed of it ourselves if we didn't want it. Some things left were genuinely useful, some not. Sometimes we didn't know immediately if we would use things (will we keep or change a paint colour). Sometimes it was obviously junk (stinky rugs or boxes of old videos). Sometimes stuff probably forgotten at the back of a cellar.

If I bought a house and asked the sellers to come and remove Items they had left, I would make sure I'd had a good look round and not expect them to return several times.

If I'd known I could charge the previous owner for getting rid of the miscellaneous shite she left everywhere, I would have done!

Yours are taking the utter piss. Tell them they can either keep or bin as they see fit but you won't be making any more trips to their house to remove items.

Neither was needed and to be fair to them they were correct to ask us to take them away. The problem is the new demands are fixed and really they should have asked us to remove all items the first time ( bearing in mind the items were next to each other in the garage ). However we returned two times and removed. Now they are asking us to removed fixed items which I understand we don’t have to.

Ignore OP. They're taking the piss.

Or maybe @headpillowhit is the buyer? Only explanation I can think of for all these aggro replies.

Not arguably, actually.

We had this with my mother in laws bungalow too. To the point they asked us to dig plants up from the garden ! My mother in law (not dead) got very upset by it all. In the end I told the woman to sue us for the cost of the work and we would see her in court. She didn’t. I called her bluff.

I wouldn't have returned once to a previous home 50 miles away.

Block them.
The job is done.

Just tell them no, block them, and forget it.

In Scotland they only have limited time to address issues like these,think it’s 7 days not sure where you live, I would block them. They’re at it

the OP has admitted that the previous two occasions were justified!

Two times would never be justified! One possibly. Why on earth would you not put in all your requests for the first occasion?

As discussed on this thread it is very common to leave paint or tiles for a new house owner.

So they didn't want them🤷‍♀️ OK A lot of people would have just got rid themselves. But hey.

But then they got OP back AGAIN. Just RUDE.

And now they want her back again!!! With a screwdriver.

@gardenroombeauty

take that up with the op

the op said that both times were reasonable 🤷

She said " correct ". And she was very decent to do it.

She certainly shouldn't be back again.

My daughter moved into a house a few weeks ago .The seller's left allsorts of stuff she contacted her solicitor and she said basically if it's not fixed I.e movable and it's not on the list of items being left or left by mutual arrangement them the seller is on breach of contract and must remove them. It would have took a skip they left a broken tumble dryer loads of big toys the kid had obviously outgrown. Broken slabs, 30 odd old paint pots that old some where from Woolworths. Bags of rock hard cement. Boxes and boxes of old photos a fridge full of half eaten food. 3 bins full of rubbish. The solicitor got in touch it and they had to fetch it .we dumped it all in the street and they loaded it into their cars in full view of all there old neighbours. She'd even had the cheek to ask £100 for 2nd hand blinds. No thanks absolute minger.

That’s silly, most people leave spare tiles etc, they come in useful for most people and they are pleased to have spares, same goes for spare paint to touch up damage often caused by moving in/out. How difficult is it to bin things you choose not to keep rather than get people to do a 100 mile round trip!
