Removing light fittings -laws
Comments

Eh, just wait until you have bought a place where the vendors have taken away all the light-switches and door furniture as well as the ruddy skirting-boards.0

The previous owners of my current place did take light fittings but did also replace them with standard pendant ones. I do think that this is a reasonable expectation even if it is not a legal requirement.
As I posted I just can't see the point of going to the effort of removing and replacing something that's probably not even worth £20.
But some light fittings I've seen, I would have been very pleased if the vendor took them.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -

Or even the floorboards :eek: Last year we purchased an item on eBay that was for collection only due to its size and when DH arranged to collect it the seller said his top floor flat was being repossessed by his lender so he had other things we might be interested in.......DH duly turned up to collect the item only to find not only the obvious items but also most of the floorboards had been removed, rendering it almost impossible to get the blooming item out! Turned out he had sold most of it on eBay over the past few weeks........Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

Blimey! I hope he got a nasty surprise when the lenders finally got their hands on it. Unless he went b/r and dodged it. Damned fool0 -

And that they ensure that any relevant work under part P is certified and notified, or they meet your costs of so doing.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0 -
Some people I knew arrived at their new property to find that virtually every plant and shrub had been removed from the garden,,,,,0
