RE: Housekeeping.

Interesting that the last owner left everything; is that common there? Here, only fixtures and fittings are left, personal effects and chattels are not included generally.

No, it's entirely unusual, but they were emigrating and we were moving from rented accommodation and didn't even own a spoon, so it suited us both. I can't even imagine trying to furnish a house from scratch. It'd be my idea of a nightmare.

I guess here mostly people have their own stuff already. Some rentals are provided fully furnished but agents prefer their clients do not; to messy and complicated when things go wrong.

Interesting. It's the opposite here. I'd say 99.9% of rentals here are fully furnished. I've never come across one that isn't.

Strange how places can be so dissimilar.

It is pretty common in both Portugal and Italy too.

Well, I'd want them to remove their stuff as I'd not want any of it, I have my own.
