Stuff your vendor left in the house you bought

She can leave whatever she wants, but she runs the risk of having her buyer posting on the forum asking if your friend can be pursued for the cost of disposing of her rubbish or even a solicitor's letter from her buyer. As she is contracting to leave the house empty, that is exactly what she should do.

Thanks. I thought this was the case. Better remove my post in case her future buyer reads it!

Trunk full of 1800s womens underware in the loft, gave to local museum and a rotting piano in the leaking garage, broke it up and gave the ivory keys to a craftsman who makes things with them. Plus a small organ pipe that we still have.

Baked beans in kitchen mats from the 'last supper' and dirty cupboards. Do you realise that you are supposed to keep things for 2 years in case the previous occupiers come back to collect?

Last time I bought a house the vendor sent us a huge list of things he wanted to 'sell', including kitchen cupboard doors, all the carpets and blinds... needless to say I refused to make an offer and all the stuff was left anyway.

This time vendor is looking us to make an offer on a few bits, one of which we are keen on for the sake of convenience, the others we don't care either way. Again, will they be arsed to take them away if we don't want to buy them? Who knows, that's the excitement!

ohhh let me see.

Claw Hammer
Trenching Shovel
six yard skip of hardcore from the end of the garden
buried scrap metal
huge amount of broken glass (the dogs really thank you for that)

My wifes old flat contained a box of old jazz records, some books, once of which has "how to build a boat". We sent that one via BFPO to a mate who was at Camp Bastion....

I have a horrible feeling that under the wall paper in my old house I left the words "I will kill again" painted on the walls in red paint......

Champagne and the neighbours name and phone number

These are a few things my friends, relatives and colleagues have found when they have moved house:

. In the airing cupboard, a bucket of dirty ladies' knickers
. 25 cans of tuna in oil
. an old front door with a completely different house number on it in the garage - house is 12 and number on the door was 60. My friend is wondering where it came from
. box of baby teeth in a kitchen cupboard
. large bottle of Bells Whisky with 20p coins. Was about £100 in there and sold bottle for £25 on eBay

Mouse droppings. Lots and lots of mouse droppings.

The last time we moved (11 years ago) we discovered that the shed was full of knackered old mowers & strimmers. We thought that was the worst of it until several weeks later when we ventured into the loft to find several old carpets & what looked like the old kitchen.

I can't imagine how much effort it must have taken to get it all up there. I'm sure it would have been easier just to take it to the recycling centre.
