How is it that the laminate floor belongs to your parents? And if you take it the buyer of your house won't have flooring.
They bought it since this was their house first and left it for us to use until they want it back lol. It is rented so not a problem for a buyer.Weight loss November 09-January 10: [STRIKE]13lbs[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]20lbs[/STRIKE] 27lbs! :j0 -
This happened to my friend a year or so ago, they were just dumped in the back garden.zzzLazyDaisy wrote: »The seller isn't obliged to leave the carpets unless they are on the F&F form, so check with your solicitor.
If they are not on the form it is a case of - do you want the carpets and are you prepared to pay £500 for them? If not, just say no, and take a gamble that she will leave them anyway - although I knew someone who did just that and found that the seller had taken the carpets up, ripped them with a stanley knife and left them in the back garden
The seller neglected that my friend knew where he was moving so we put all the carpet in the van, waited until about 3am and carpetted the sellers new garden and right over their car too.

Is it reasonable for us to pay, even though we feel she's left us enough things to have to deal with that she could at least throw in the carpets for us?
I don't get this. You agreed to buy a house at a certain price, presumably taking into account that this work needed to be done, and somehow the seller should feel they owe you something?What goes around - comes around0 -

It always amuses me. I paid £24K for my first house and the vendor wanted £70 for a washing machine. I paid up because it was in the days when FTBers didn't expect everything new.
With hindsight, I should have offered £23,930 for the house.
