Fixtures, any kind of personal property that is permanently attached to a
house (such as drapery rods, built-in bookcases, tacked-down carpeting or a
furnace), automatically stay with the house unless specified otherwise in
the sales contract. But you can consider anything that is not nailed down
negotiable. This most often involves appliances that are not built in
(washer, dryer, refrigerator, for example), although some sellers will be
interested in negotiating for other items, such as a piano. |
