Gazundering dilemma!!

[bigee]

Have just exchanged on our sale,and as seems to be the norm these days,'had' to take a drop of £2.5k on the day of exchange!! It just reafirms my faith in the morals of today.Now my dilemma is this;i have a reasonable pile of rubble etc in my garden left over from previous works,i was asked a few weeks ago would i clear it,to which i replied yes (this was all through my agent)To cut to the chase it would cost me a few hundred to remove same,or take me a good days work myself,it is not mentioned in the contract anywhere so you can see where i am coming from....would you leave it on site? i presume as not part of the contract then legally i can just leave it? any thoughts???

Spread it around the garden to make it an even bigger job to remove.

Spread it around the house to make it an even bigger job to remove.

Increase it's size by knocking down a wall in the house.

Take a huge dump under the carpets as well. Preferably after eating a fahl or two.

I'd have thought you'd be glad they actually bought your house gazunder or not in these sort of times.

Morals doesn't come into it, this is the disgusting business of property ownership.

I'd probably just leave it, you offered to move it as a matter of goodwill, that goodwill became null and void as they haven't shown you any.

Lady we bought our house off didnt clear anything out of the garage

Had to get rid of an old glass dining table and chairs, couple of old tyres, 2 ladders and a host of kitchen units. PITA.

[bigee]

My thoughts exactly..

[eightseventhree]

i would have told the buyers to fk off for 2.5k they would have backed down for such a small amount.

as for the rubble. If its not in your terms of sale etc they can wistle

[hornetrider]

Also I'd consider some rotting old fish under some kitchen cupboards, in the loft etc, you could probably get away with that.

Human excrement, probably not.

They actually wanted £5k off to start with,i v.reluctantly agreed at £2.5.

[Cara Van Man]

Can't believe you backed down on the morning of the sale. I'd have put the keys back in my pocket and told them to stump up the agreed amount or find somewhere else.

When we bought our house the previous owners didn't empty the shed, which was full of manky rotten carpets. However at the bottom was a 2 ton trolley jack, some axle stands, a brand new fabric parasol and a decent hacksaw. Which was a bit of a result

You cannot believe how i wanted to do that,even to the point of telling them not only no to dropping the price,but that now i will not sell to you full stop. BUT,we all know the state of play at the moment.To be honest the £2.5k is really not the issue (not that its not a lot of money..) its the principle involved.

Not saying I would do it like this but if I'd been the buyers (my own situation is that I sold in early 2007 right at the peak ) then I'd happily walk away and leave a vendor if they didn't want to play ball in the current situation.

Then I'd maybe offer them 10 grand less in a few months when they were pulling their hair out.

and put the rate up by 5k for good measure
