Fixtures are items that have been attached to the property, becoming part of the home itself.
In an offer, buyers must list which chattels the seller will leave behind, while sellers must state which fixtures they can remove. But there's a vast grey area between chattels and fixtures. If in doubt, spell it out in the offer. Clearly say if a particular item stays with the house, or goes with the seller because a mistake classifying chattels and fixtures can prove very costly.
