Hey guys does anyone know the policy on the previous owners leaving a ton of rubbish and we want them to collect it but aren’t sure if this is okay? 

This happened to my sister - if it's not listed on Fixtures and Fittings then they were required to remove it before handing over the keys. Talk to your solicitor and they should be able to arrange removal at the seller's expense.

Fab thank you! They’ve left a ton of stuff in the garden that’s a mess and dirty underwear 😂😂 which I defo do not want. I’ll take pics and ask them to remove them. 

Oh gross, what is wrong with people?! 

Fair warning, if they're anything like my sister's sellers, you'll need to do a lot of chasing and hassling for them to get it done.

Part of the contract would place conditions on them to remove rubbish and belongings. Might be worth taking a few pictures and sending it to your solicitor so that they can make contact. Or maybe via the EA (if they are helpful in that way). Hope it’s not tons! 😬 x

Fab thank you! And it is tbh, the garden is a massive mess like an old dirty pool and whatever else they’ve shoved in a heap! And then lots of appliances that are disgusting, like thick with mold and moldy food or items 🤮

Eurgh that is disgusting 🤢 x

Yeah honestly I might just do it myself! They’ve been bad enough and we’re trying to completely redecorate before moving in so it might be more hassle than it’s worth!

So after our vendor pulled out of the sale on Monday, they have now resisted the house for £25K more!!!! I think they wanted to do this to us all along!!! The delay caused by our buyer’s solicitor and lender just gave them the excuse to justify this course of action. It’s so very annoying of them to do it four days from exchange though. I offered full asking price when it was listed so it wasn’t like I tried to cheat them in any way. Needless to say we will not be pursuing purchase of their property at any price!!! Congrats to those of you who have either exchanged or completed!!!! 

How cheeky of them, as the others have said karma is a !!!!!! sit back and enjoy watching, I hope they don’t get to sell as they sound as if they are being very greedy, so hope u find elsewhere soon, good luck 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you @Cookie211!!!! I have a funny feeling it will turn out to be a blessing in the end

Thats a really poopy thing to do !!  

There should be some type of caveat when listing a house that if you pull out to list it for dearer, then you incur a monetary charge for doing it or paying the other persons legal fees.  

Agreed! All we’re left with now is a big conveyancing bill!!!!

Takes the mick, They should be presented with that !! 

I hope it all goes boobs up for them ! 

Totally agree!!! Hope they’re left with that house on their hands until next year!!!

Wishing everyone luck this week. I've been told that the entire chain is waiting to exchange in the next few days but my buyer's solicitor is AWOL

Why is everything such a battle

Oh no, I'm so sorry - that's absolutely terrible! I know part of selling your house is about making money, but seeing things like that makes me so sad. It's also meant to be your home, and someone else's future home!

There really should be some protections for buyers for these sorts of situation, because it's totally unfair to string someone along and have them spend money on the process for them to decide suddenly they'd actually like more money. Like you said, it sounds like they were just looking for an excuse. Fingers crossed you'll find something better being sold by less selfish people soon!

Thank you, so do I. It doesn’t feel like it now but I think it might be a blessing in the long run

Mine too plus my vendors as well….was so holding onto a small ray of hope that by some miracle the 10th would happen but that’s well and truly off the cards…..I wish house buying wasn’t so emotive as these massive highs and lows are just too much to take 😢 x

How awful! I'm so sorry. Karma WILL bite them on the bum, don't worry. Fingers crossed you find something even better very soon and of course you wouldn't want to buy at the new price. How could you ever trust this awful vendor going forward.

I'm fairly sure my vendor is planning to do the same (2 months since offer accepted and no progress made as he is apparently looking for an onward purchase). My offer was 20k above asking but I suspect he thinks he can get even more now and will pull out and relist pretty soon. I'm hoping one of the properties I'm viewing this week will fit the bill!

It’s so wrong on every level that people can do this.  It’s greed that is the driver here!!! Hope you can get sorted soon and with someone who won’t mess you about!!!
