Following on from the other thread about what's the oddest thing you've been left, what have you left behind for your purchasers?
We left a small plastic garden shed with extra house bricks from our conservatory build. I think they may have been useful as the purchaser did brick up an external door when they remodelled the kitchen. We didn't actually say we were going to leave them.
Now's the time to 'fess up about what you left behind for your purchasers.

I left a small packet of money in the conservatory above the door...only a pound or so but not in purpose! Only remembered today two weeks after moving out.:(

When my father moved some 15 years ago, we left behind the following in the loft : 2 clocks (1 electric, 1 clockwork), which had belonged to his FIL, an Acme wringer (1950s version of a mangle) and a metal non matching stand for the wringer,If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0

When we got married someone smart Alec bought us a proper leather whip (don't know why, he was fully housetrained thanks to my brilliant mil) .....couldn't find it when we moved so assume that it got left behind0

Only paint and wall and floor tiles that we'd used in the house in case they needed to replace/repaint.
Not fair to leave the new owners things we don't want and can't be bothered to dump.Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.0 -
The buyers turned up a bit early, before the funds had cleared, was just giving the place a final vacuum, then couldn't fit the vac into the car, so left it with 'em.
It was next day I realised I'd left my dressing gown hung on the back of the bedroom door. Hope they made good use of it . . . :rotfl:

We accidentally left a small photo album that must have slipped out of a box that was stored in the loft of our old house.
Fortunately, and very kindly, when they found it the new owners brought it to our new home - we hadn't even realised it was missing, but we were very grateful to get it back2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shadingEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endMFW #4 OPs (offset): 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07,

Only ever left paint and a chest of drawers (it was nice but didn't fit in the van so just left it).
In our current place we found a set of crutches in the attic. Previous owner for many moons ago also left some odds and ends (old locks, plug sockets etc) up there. All went in the bin but I think the crutches are up there somewhere.
Now in the progress of selling up. Being fair to the new owner and clearing out. Only things really being left behind are spare tiles, spare flooring and paint. There's an attic aerial I never got round to fitting that we'll leave up there. I'd love to leave our old high chair in the attic but I reckon the new owners wouldn't be happy!0 -

The house opposite me had been owned by an elderly man who had lived in the house all his life - he was 87 when he died and it had been his parents home before that. He had never married and had no other family.
The new owners found loads of valuable antiques in the loft which they sold and used the proceeds to build a huge extension and decorate top to bottom!0 -
Paint, tiles and a new shower riser which we had bought but hadn't fitted. And lots of sticky notes attached to things to point out where the meters, water tank were and how they worked.0
