Although we blogged on this fairly recently, it seems to be
a subject that is generating quite a few questions at the moment. So we’ve decided to re-visit it.
Do please remember though that we are not solicitors and
your individual unique situation may require specific legal advice.
Fixtures and fittings
Let’s assume you are moving out of the house you owned and
have just sold.
As a general legal principle, you cannot remove things that
your contract of sale will have categorised as being “fixtures and
fittings”. In other words, if the buyers
saw something as part of the property’s structure when they came to visit it
during their buying activities, you can’t unilaterally remove it when you move
out.
There may be some exceptions to that, provided they are
clearly noted in the contractual agreements and the buyers have agreed the
removal in advance.
Unfortunately, just what constitutes a “fixture” is sometimes
open to interpretation and it can occasionally lead to legal disputes.
