SPECIFY WHAT
STAYS OR GOES
Probably the most important document in the sale of a home is the purchase & sales contract. In order to save a lot of aggravation, post-sale bickering, and possibly law suits, the gray area of which items will stay and which will go should be spelled out specifically in the contract.
Know the difference between chattels (which can be picked up and moved without leaving nail holes); and fixtures, which have been attached with the intention of their becoming part of the real estate (furnace, fence, garbage disposal, etc.) Fixtures are expected to remain with the property.
Items like wall-to-wall carpeting, smoke alarms and fireplace equipment should be specified in the contract to avoid confusion about what stays and what goes. Two usual troublesome items are the TV antenna and fancy lighting fixtures; people form strong emotional attachments to chandeliers. Don’t get bogged down over such little matters. Simply make sure your offer stipulates that all fixtures remain except specific ones you’re willing to give up.
