Funnily enough most white goods come in standard sizes with a few exceptions to prove the rule so to speak.

When we arrived to move in to our last house the ex owners where still taking some of their stuff out!! They were meant to have left the day before. When we eventually got in they had taken practically every conceivable thing with them including the curtain rails (white plastic ones) and even the light bulbs. As he left the guy even had the cheek to say to my OH, I'll just hold on to this set of keys incase we have forgotten anything!!! No way was that happening and he wasn't very happy at having to hand the keys over! Needless to say before we stepped over the door, we had been to the local hardware shop and bought new door and window locks, all fitted before we moved anything in. Some folk eh?

and even the light bulbs.

I once moved house & not only did they take the bulbs but also the rose & wire, leaving bear wires in every room but that should be another thread really............

AP I think your machine might fit the width & height of the hole,it would stick out about an inch because of being deeper/bulky door than integrated machines. Most machines are 600mm wide I think,you might not need to buy a new machine if you leave the door off like they did? I don't know if they still have the door,imagine if you bought a new one & there was no door to put on?

My brother recently bought a house and when he moved in the previous owners clothes were still in the wardrobe! He let his solicitor know and kept hold of them for a while - but they never came back for them! You'd think you'd notice your clothes being missing wouldnt you!

You would be surprised at what we find in vacated property, favourite places are the roof space, airing cupboard and down the back of units.

Everything from jewellery to naughty photographs. Expensive stuff gets photographed in situ, boxed and returned to the letting agency where they keep it for 6 months, the other stuff is destroyed.

A good few years ago I found a Samurai sword in a roof space, handed it in, no one claimed it so the police gave it back to me after 6 months, not a really good one but still made me over £400 .............nice day at the office as they say.

You would never really know a guy I took it to told me that the Japanese who owned them were fanatical about looking after them and they were usually handed down to the eldest son through the generations.

From the marks on this one he could give an area of manufacture and an approximate date. His thoughts were that a officer had taken it across to China when Japan invaded, from there it got down into Burma and somehow at the end of WW11 one of our lads got his hands on it and brought it back as a trophy.

Only in the late 1980s a Nottingham arms dealer bought a Chinese battalion armoury and had it shipped across. When that arrived there were several hundred swords, he had a specialist in who spent a week going through them. He was taking off the alloy handles as fitted by the Chinese and then racking them according to the marks on the blade tang.

When he was finished he was asked how much he was owed he pointed to the top shelf and asked for and received one of the blades. He turned to the owner and said "Thanks every one of the blades up there is worth at least £10K" You could have knocked me over with a feather duster.
