Buyers are camped in our garden over Christmas

Bah Humbug

Sorry for the early post, I need to vent. The wife is in bed and I am livid.

Mr and Mrs Clampit from down the drive decided to knock on the door at 7am this morning, apologetic that they needed to use the loo, they thought e had kids and we would be up! derrrr So I let them do their business and get back to the Caravan. One of them stank out the bathroom so whilst I was having a bath, I had to ponder their odour. The Oust has run out and the co-op I assume will be shut.

Last night when I thought lights were off and they were in bed, they actually went down the pub. They came back at 2am. He slipped over in the driveway on the ice, the wife was laughing her head off loudly and they clambered back into the caravan. Watching from the window i then watched him let his dog out which shat in our zen garden and again defiled rudolph. He made no attempt to clear up the muck left behind and at first light, the saying "never eat yellow snow" is never been more apparent. Rudolph the yellow legged raindeer has had its last Christmas I am afraid which is a shame as we have had him since we have been together,

Anyway, I wandered down to the motorhome and left a note on the window to wish them a Merry Christmas and would they mind walking the dog in the park over the road. I have also mentioned we are in and out over Christmas so if they need the loo, there is the BP down the road which is 24 hours in case they get stuck.

I do have to say that I think your buyers have the most unbelievable cheek! Why they think it is OK to camp out on your drive when the property is not theirs yet is beyond me.

Even if they have sold their house and needed to move out, they should have found somewhere else to decamp to before arriving at your home. OH and I had to stay at relatives for a few months in a similar situation, and also rented a place once as we had completed but our next place hadn't.

You say it is all meant to be going through on the 4th January, but this could be delayed and completion take even longer. You certainly should not allow them any access to the place, or start off loading their stuff into the property until everything is sealed and finalised. How you are expected to move out with a camper van on your drive I have no idea, but if you have a removal lorry coming, I would ask them to go until you have completely cleared the house.

You say they are a nice couple, and I have no doubt they are, but this behaviour is like nothing I have heard of before and makes them appear a bit strange, especially over Xmas! I would advise caution about offering too much at this stage. At the end of the day, they have put themselves in this situation and therefore have to deal with it.
Good luck OP and a merry Xmas. :beer:

You should have sent them down the hardware store for a bucket. Knocking to use the loo every 5 mins is not on.

Leave all their mess, come 4th Jan it's their problem surely they can't complain about that with the sale.
