Content: The most common fixtures in a home are built-in appliances but also frequently include window treatments, blinds, and pool equipment. When you are looking at houses, how do you know what will be yours if you buy the house and what will go with the current owners of the home? Here are three questions to ask yourself to help you determine if it will stay or go? Is the item permanently attached to the house? Dishwashers and stoves are normally attached to the property in some way, unlike a refrigerator, washer and dryer that are just plugged in. Having said that, it is common in Bermuda for the major appliances to be included in a sale as chattels. Blinds are most likely attached to the house as are some window treatments. However, a curtain rod may be attached while the curtain itself is just hanging from the rod meaning the curtain rod would stay and the curtain would go. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, and built-in shelving are generally fixtures. Landscaping and fencing will also generally be expected to stay.
