Moving Etiquette

There are certain rules when moving out of a property:

  • Leave your house in the condition in which the buyer first saw it, but cleared of anything that wasn't included in the purchase price.
  • Don't remove door handles, light bulbs or light fittings, fireplaces, fitted cupboards or anything planted in the garden or cemented down, unless it was specifically noted in the purchase contract.
  • Leave the property in the state you would want to find your new house in - clean thoroughly and get rid of all rubbish and unwanted belongings.
  • Make sure that you take everything with you, as the new owner could claim that anything you leave behind is now their property and it could be hard to recover.
