what is the weirdest thing sellers have taken?

When I bought my place the guy left B&Q flooring and wall paper in the attic.

I immediately took it back for a refund- was the best part of £150 :money:

Many years ago some friends inherited an unwanted dining table and chairs with their house purchase. Promptly sold the items through local paper classified for £25 (good money in those days)

When I moved into my first home the lovely lady I bought from asked if I wanted her oven and fridge as she was moving to a new build with it all included - but I wasn't to think she was trying to dump stuff on me and she'd get it dumped if I wanted. Seeing as I'd got nothing hardly at the time I was more than grateful, they lasted me years. And she left the house immaculate, and a bottle of wine and a card to welcome me to my new home.

Some people are just plain nice!

I got a garage full of tools and DIY stuff. Fab.

Described as "junk" - but presumably by someone who doesn't like the smell of engine oil

A friend found that the garden gate had been removed when she moved into her home - god knows why the Vendor wanted that !

One place we considered on buying but didn't, had everything as optional aside from the kitchen and plumbing. I mean fixed units were not included and would be taken down and took with them if you didn't buy them, like wardrobes, medicine cabinets, curtain poles etc.

We moved 2 years ago and the house and garage were stripped bare except for a wooden leg in the middle of the garage floor complete with brown shoe

I'm surprised my buyers from a few years ago aren't on this thread - I took the lock from the downstairs cloakroom.....

Oh and the doorbell!

I moved into a rented flat in central London and the owners had pained around the bed ! Even around the headboard, and it was not secured to the floor !

Had a similar thing but this was in a rented house. Front room, they had painted the floor boards black. The room had various bits of 70's furniture and a blue rug..........I got permission to bin all these items, when I moved them......they had painted around the furniture and the rug!!!
