As you can imagine, conflicts can arise between sellers and buyers if there are any misunderstandings on what is and isn’t rightfully incorporated into the sale. Items in the home that legally convey with the sale are what are considered to be permanent fixtures. If it’s nailed down, bolted, mounted, built-in or otherwise attached to the home, it will be considered a fixture. So, the built-in refrigerator is a fixture. The standalone refrigerator is not. A mirror that is hung on a wall is personal property, yet a mirror bolted to the wall studs is a fixture. Furniture in an office? That’s personal property. Built-in bookcases?
