    No. Youre out of order. You should take yu R own rubbish to the skip
    I'm never offended by debate & opinions. As a wise man called Voltaire once said, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend until death your right to say it."
    Mortgage is my only debt - Original mortgage - January 2008 = £88,400, March 2014 = £47,000 Chipping away slowly! Now saving to move.

    Can you believe these people who won't clear away your rubbish for you.....because you couldn't be bothered......and now they want paying for a skip?
    Anyone would think that you're not entitled to leave your junk somewhere for nothing.......

    When I bought my house it has a load of old stuff left in it I didn't think to sue the vendor.
    They would be crazy to take you to court for £150.

    Odds on OP ever coming back to reply?

    I'll take that up (note I do not even play the nation lottery, grand national etc), even if it's just to tell us where to sling our hooks, but more likely to explain why they were not as inconsiderate as it may appear.

    The main problem is that there's now no way for you to save any face and you will probably end up paying for a skip just so that you don't have to go round there with your tail between your legs.


    The form that the seller completes has a question that asks whether you will ensure that you take all rubbish away... I expect that this would stand up in court or why would it be there?

    They are being petty but you should have had the stuff moved and they can charge you.

    Maybe they are being petty because of the OP. Reading her rant makes me wonder if there were other problems with OP during the whole process.
    It's someone else's fault.

    So all the OP had to do was answer no to that question. The sale would have gone through as normal and the buyer would have had no comeback...is that all?

    I don't even remember that question.

    (edit) I just dug out the form...is that the TA6 form? Nothing mentions the property will be clear of rubbish. Do you have a different form?

    just completed the forms for The sale of my parents house and yes it's there in black and white.

    In fact I had an alrighty row with dad over it because we need to get mums stairlift removed and the company make a charge.

    Dad said he wasn't going to,pay it and it was up to the new owners.

    It took me several attempts to get through to,him that it was a legal obligation to clear all rubbish etc. and that as the stair lift was not required by the new owner he could not get away with calling it a fixture or fitting :rotfl:

    In the end I said if he felt that aggrieved then I would pay to have the blasted Thing removed. He felt ashamed then and agreed to comply, but he has done nothing but whinge about it.

    I don't think you can answer no to the question, my understanding is that it is legal requirement that you must clear all rubbish etx. failure to do so could land you in court.
