True the house must be left in a safe condition. Unfortunately light bulbs can be taken as they are movables and not fixtures.When we bought our present house in 1982 we viewed it empty,
The previous occupants had already moved on.
There was not really anything left inside the house on viewing day.
The sale went through, with a few problems sorted ( as is the norm ).
It was late when received the keys and it was in November.
When I entered the kitchen and flicked on the light over where the kitchen table would go, it did not light.
So, I turned on the main light in the kitchen.
Looking back, expecting the bulb to be missing from the holder.
No !.
There had been a fancy light fitting in the house when we viewed it, not to our taste, but it was there !.
Not now !.
Just a bunch of wires hanging through the ceiling !.
That is how it was left honestly !.
The conductors had just been parted to prevent it from blowing the protection fuse.
This would not happen today of course.
