Vendor's request

I think because the house in vacant possession on paper, its prob. be not advisable to put things in writing because if for e.g. theft happens you can deny ever having the items in first place. I am not too bothered about discarding stuff myself in case vendor dont come and collect. It would still be cheaper then paying extra month's rent!
Well you think wrong.0 -
It's not worth the hassle and inconvenience that could easily occur.... she needs to move totally out, with all her stuff, before/on the day - a local self storage unit wouldn't cost her much for the time she believes she'd need things storing - and if she rented it from the week before completion she could get stuff in there ahead of the day, then remove it at her leisure.
Aside from insurance/risk etc, there's that perpetual embarrassing and/or heart-sinking moment when you see the last owner's vehicle approaching your house (yet again!!) and you think "shall I hide? how long will they be? hope it's all going now....."0 -

Or perhaps you could say that you drive an Audi. As this is hideously embarrassing, you obviously need the garage to hide it in, so you won't get off on the wrong foot with the neighbours seeing the Audi and laughing at you or thinking you're some sort of to55er.
