    LOL! This is crazy. I don't even know whether you would have any way of taking action against this, because I doubt it would be ANYwhere in the deeds or whatever that they promised not to take the grass!

    I sold a house recently and on the fixtures and fittings I had to sign to say I wasn't taking any plants etc from the garden or I had to state what I was taking.

    That has always been the case. The OP has a right to be compensated.

    This is the first time I read this thread and why would they rip the turf up in this weather? Even when re-laying the turf at their new place will not do much good to the turf.

    If it dies, serves them bloody right.

    It's only been a couple of weeks since the most recent update. These things take time if going through solicitors.
