Key Biscayne Sale?

But what is customarilyleft in a home after you move out? Believe itor not, this topic, insignificant as it may seem,has been the cause of a number of disputesbetween sellers and buyers.

Everything inside your home isnegotiable, this is true. But not everythingis included in the sale. If the purchasecontract does not specify ALL that shouldbe left behind after the sale, buyers mayassume that some items might still bepresent at their pre-closing walk through.

Fixtures.

As a rule, fixtures or whatever is permanentlyattached to the home, stays and whatever isn’t, goes.These include built-in cabinets, light fixtures andceiling fans. If taking an item would cause ruinationin the walls, ceiling, etc., it’s considered a fixture.Lamps are considered personal property and shouldgo with the seller. On the other hand, when it comesto chandeliers, the buyer and seller need to discussas to who should keep them.

Fixtures.

Similarly, window treatments such ascurtain rods, blinds, shutters and shadesare considered fixtures while the custom-made curtains hanging from the rod andother decor that simply rest on hooksusually go with you.

Appliances.

In most cases, appliances that simply need unpluggingbefore transport are considered personal property bythe seller. These may include TV, vacuum cleaner, hairdryer and others. However, kitchen appliances such asstove, microwave and dishwasher are consideredfixtures and should remain in the house. Just to be onthe safe side, if you plan to bring certain applianceswith you, better make it clear during open houses thatthey are not part of the sale.

Personal items.
