Seller left lots of rubbish in house

Skip is usually £50 or so. Don't stress chasing the vendor

You are way off target with the price there.

Nothing to add to advise the OP, but I like your sagas of what you "inherited" when you bought.  

My best leftovers were several boxes of quite decent glasses in the garden shed; useful for parties. 

The worst?  A whole secondhand (i.e, scrap) fitted kitchen and some wardrobes, painstakingly dismantled and stored in the loft- presumably by the vendor, who by then lived overseas!  I mean, who rips out and replaces a kitchen, then thinks;
-  "that might come in handy - I'll spend three days manoevering it through the loft trap and leave it up there for years!"?

It stiffened my resolve to never store anything in the loft (except maybe the Christmas tree).  As Jane Austen (nearly) said
-  "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a load of old toot, must be in want of loft storage..."
whence it shall only ever come down to go in a skip. 

So now, I just skip the interim stage.

I like your Jane Austen (nearly) quote AlexMac

Contracts should really include the new address of the seller, along side the requirement to clean it all possessions and rubbish. A note about passing on the bill for cleaning up should be in there too.

Remember that not everyone is able bodied and able to just hire a skip and clean it up themselves. It could be a significant cost for them.

Bit difficult if they don't yet know what it is - or it's a particularly temporary one.

Besides, what would be your remedy if it turns out not to be the correct address?

The only time I've got a skip was about 20 years ago, and it was £100 then...
