How to Avoid Fixtures and Fittings Disputes when Moving Home

                                                        

One thing that can usually be said about moving day and agreed by everyone is that you probably want to forget it as fast as possible once it’s done.

If you’re to achieve that, what you won’t want to find is that for days, weeks and months afterwards, you’re embroiled in legal disputes and squabbling over what you removed from your old property or what the ex-owners removed from your new home. Don’t underestimate how ‘touchy’ people can get over these things, even when small sums of money are involved.

What follows here is general advice because some of the issues can be legally complex and interpretations will differ from one situation to another and certainly from one country or state to another also. Don’t hesitate to contact a solicitor for precise definitions and a professional furniture removals company should also be able to offer advice.

Vacating a property you own

You’re allowed to take with you all of your personal possessions – but only those that are ‘movable’. Those items that are considered to be part and parcel of the property, being its structure or fixtures and fittings, cannot be removed as they will typically be deemed to have been sold to the new owners.
