Leaving fridge, freezer, washing machine (old)

2003wastheyear

When we move we aren't sure whether to leave or take the items to the dump. Reason being the fridge and freezer are looking tatty and the washing machine and tumble dryer are old and ugly. Will the buyers be more annoyed if they get left with stuff that's on its last legs ( not put on forms as being left)??? Can't ask them at the moment as they are very difficult and away at the moment too. We don't want to get sued for leavinh stuff not on the forms, but then again most people would be greatful to have some stuff in place while they replace it with better??? Arregghhh what to do?:rotfl:

Also a tumble dryer - cheapest one from argos so not fancy.

Send them an updated form to say you are leaving them after all?

You can't just leave it without them consenting to it, no. You're assuming they'll want them and they probably won't.

I doubt most people would be grateful for you leaving them a load of carp! :rotfl:

Either ask the buyers or dispose of the items (properly!!)

Does your contract state that you are selling the property "with vacant possession"? If so, you are legally obliged to remove everything that was not stated on the forms, or that was not previously agreed with the buyer. So I'd definitely err on the side of taking everything to the dump.

When I bought a house many years ago the sellers left their very broken dishwasher behind. It wasn't on the inventory, and so I was very annoyed as I had my own working one, so had to quickly arrange the disposal of their knackered piece of crap, which was a hassle I could have done without.

They *did* take all the door handles, lightbulbs and random things that were supposed to be left.

Also the place was filthy, they had not wanted to sell and made that obvious from the way they left the place. I spent a couple of weeks hoping their next !!!! was a cactus...

hahah thanks guys, sorry Andy I am not assuming anyting hence asking the question on this forum to get your inputs.

I think I am over exagerating- the items are all within 3 years old but just cheapo, they all work. I will try freecycle.

Are these appliances in working order?

If so, offer them to the British Heart Foundation. They will check these over and sell these in their furniture shops, profits funding heart disease research and support.

Remember though that the BHF charges quite high prices, which means those most in need can't afford to use them (been there when I was homeless once). They do deliver however, people on freecycle don't. I had to live for three months in a flat with no oven, no fridge, and no washing machine with two kids because I couldn't find a way to get white goods. It was a bit of a problem at the time.
