Fixtures and fittings
Items connected to a property that may need to be identified as included or excluded in a sale agreement.
Definition
Fixtures and fittings can cause disputes when the offer to purchase does not clearly say what stays, what is removed, and what condition items must be in at occupation or transfer. The practical review should check the sale agreement, annexures, estate-agent listing, photographs, inspection records, messages, keys and remotes, appliances, curtains, security systems, solar equipment, and any agreed exclusions.
