Moving Rules
There are a number of certain rules when moving out of a property:
- 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.
- Make sure that you 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 it thoroughly and get rid of all rubbish and unwanted belongings.
