How tight is this...

[aloha]

We are buying a house. Offered asking price and was accepted straight away. We are very nice, no hassle buyers - eg we got a damp report on instruction from building soc which recommended that we get the damp course redone in places, but agreed it was probably just moneymaking for firm so didn't bother reducing our offer.
But yester day we go the list of stuff they are planning to take from/leave in the property. Amoung many other things they are planning to take:
The garden shed (nothing remotely fancy)
Every single blind (which were made to fit the windows)
All the curtain poles
The fully integrated dishwasher (which isn't v new - we bought one last week which we plan to leave for our buyers)
The bloody dimmer switches

• surprised they aren't taking the floorboards!

Yay! Telegraph

Aug 02 - it did make an impression on me!

She was the woman who set up Women Empowering Women pyramid scheme (it certainly empowered her).

And the bloke who bought the place was supposedly particularly enamoured of this "piazza" but it took him 2 years to find it!!! Must be an awfully big estate...

lol at it taking him 2 years to notice! I did search for it Janh earlier but no joy, I'm glad you found it, it sounded intriguing. That women empowering women thing was a load of old toss/big con as I remember.

we had entirely the opposite problem, having moved into our third floor flat, they had left eveything!
It was previously rented out to students, all rooms were as bedrooms with double bed, wardrobes, drawers, shelving units, pictures still on the walls, even a few bin liners full of clothes, all kitchen cupboards full ofcrockery and even food..crazy!
and it was all really rubbish old stuff so not one thing we could use
we had to hire a skip to clear it out- made moving day a lot more stressful than i would have hoped

When we bought the house we are in now the sellers took their shed, all the curtain rods, most of the light fixings, almost all the lampshades, curtains... it doesn't sound much but we spent a fortune replacing most of that. However, they left a good quality cooker, some usable wardrobes & a 1/2 tank full of oil (so have had free heating & hot water all this last year).

They are also taking the cooker Zebra!
am bidding on a replacement on Ebay atm.

Our vendors left us with a hole in the ceiling and a hole in the wall.

got to fill in my what are you leaving form for the solicitors this week, and I was shocked to see things like dimmer switches listed.

having read this now I can see why??

what are people like? although having said that I am taking some of my plants from the garden for sentimental reasons but have told my buyer this at the beginning.
