PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

All bins full at new house

I've emailed estate agents with a polite request, but I'm still going to pop over next week and put the black bin out myself as it's a few minutes drive from me.
If I get no joy from the estate agents, I'm not going to risk the purchase over a bin, so I'll try speaking to the council to see if they can sort something.
If still no joy, it will be a pair of heavy duty gloves and a trip to the tip if it's not sorted before I move in.
Hopefully the current owner will get it sorted and save the effort.
Thanks all.1 -
Nope the person who is upset about full bins isn't the OP. Read back.user1977 said:
Think you've missed that this isn't just about the bins being full (I agree that's a rather odd thing to get upset about), but being full of the wrong stuff and needing to be re-sorted.Irishpearce26 said:
Upset over a full bin, really!youth_leader said:Sorry the bins are full, I do hope you can get them emptied. I was upset to move into my property and find my general waste and recycling bin overflowing with mixed rubbish, I had to go to the dump in my first week here.1 -

Maybe get some CCTV installed, if you have fears of the ex-tenant being a drug user. You wouldn't want any unwanted people to attend the property, looking for the previous tenant.First Time Buyer

I have - I'm taking "my general waste and recycling bin overflowing with mixed rubbish" to mean the bins were full of the wrong stuff, like the OP.Irishpearce26 said:
