    Will you need a bracket for the set in the new house? If so I'd take it and make good, if not I'd leave it.

    ... and all to do with people who mount them at the wrong height (they should be eye level really).


    That was my point.

    And mine was...that there are people who know how to mount a TV at the correct eye level, so seems a bit unfair to assume that OPs isn't which is the implication I got from your post.

    When we left our last house - this question went through our minds, and the reason we left it up there was as well as a bracket, we had a plug for the telly, and an aerial plate too... therefore they all went together - presume your setup is similar? therefore if you fill in the holes your left with the plug / aerial socket....

    Did wonder about this myself! We have a wall mounted TV in our room and our son's room. Was going to take the one in our room as our walls are painted white so eacy to fill and make good. But our son's room will be more work to make good (we dont have the same paint anymore and not even sure of the colour!) so we'll probably leave the TV mount behind and get him a new one when we move into the new house.

    The implication was that of the many TVs I have seen wall mounted, none have been low enough for me. I never said all TVs are too high.

    I wouldn't mount mine in any case. I like to move the furniture around and wouldn't want to be stuck with having to arrange it around the goggle box.

    This is a fixture so my understanding is that unless it is specifically excluded it will be assumed that it is included. I.e. that you should not remove it.
    Moreover, the offer is clear on that: Fixtures to stay.

    You do not seem to want to keep it anyway, so just leave it.

    I've never seen a wall mounted TV that wouldn't give me a crick in my neck watching it. I'd rather the vendor did it and I could just hang a nice picture to cover the repair until I could re-decorate.

    As a buyer, without a modern telly, while it'd seem useful to eventually put my TV on it, as I've no experience of wall mounted TVs I'd also worry if my new telly would fit and how safe it was up there on the wall .... so, on balance, I think I'd prefer to have it removed, so I can remain old fashioned and plonk it on a small table.

    The guy I am buying from gave me the option. He plans on wall moutning his Tv's in his new home so said he can either remove the brackets but it will be a bit of an untidy job (both are on wallpapered walls) or if I provide him with two brackets he will leave them where they are which I am more than happy with.

    Looking at the price of wall brackets they're hardly worth the labour removing them and making the wall good.
