  • If they're keeping the existing fittings then those things will come in useful. If they're tearing them out then a few extra bits and bobs to get rid of will be a tiny addition to a huge amount of stuff they have to dispose of. So, in general, I'd say they're being a dick and ignore them or tell them the above. That said, it does depend what you mean by "carpet" if it's huge rolls of carpet that are taking up space, then I could see them being annoyed about it.

    IANALawyer, but my impression is that once you've moved house, trying to enforce anything with regard to the previous owner comes down to a cost/benefit analysis. Unless what you stand to gain/not lose is greater than the cost of taking the previous owner to (small claims) court, then you basically have to suck it up.

    In any case, presumably these communications are coming via your solicitor, so they should be able to advise you.

    yes and thanks guys... I've asked my solictor for her opinion. so ghosting probably can't happen
    they reckon £300 for a man and a van which is spendy for my mind
    I'm tempted to offer to pay some towards it but as said they are dicks and I'm sure to be back to call them that some more

  • Could you offer to come and collect it? I can’t actually see what they could do that wouldn’t cost them as much as they’d stand to get back off you. How much stuff was it? A car load? Van load?

  • Offer 150, see what they come back with pay it and move on with your life. It's not worth stressing over.
