In real estate, Fixtures are items of personal property that have been attached to land or a building in such a way that they are legally considered part of the real property. Common examples include built in appliances, lighting, plumbing, and heating systems.
Whether an item is considered a fixture depends on factors such as the method of attachment, the intent of the parties, the adaptability of the item to the property, and any agreements between buyer and seller. Once classified as a fixture, the item typically transfers with the property unless specifically excluded in the sale agreement.
