Fittings

What are fittings?

Fittings specifically refer to movable items or accessories that are not permanently attached to the building. These include items such as curtains and freestanding appliances (like refrigerators or washing machines). 

What are some examples of fittings? 

Examples of fittings in a property include: 

• Curtains or blinds
• Carpets or rugs
• Freestanding furniture (e.g., sofas, tables, chairs)
• Portable appliances (e.g., microwave, toaster)
• Beds
• Wall-mounted decorations or mirrors
• Lamps or detachable lighting

What’s the difference between fittings and fixtures? 

In a nutshell, fixtures are permanent parts of a property, like built-in appliances, while fittings are movable items, such as curtains or furniture. Fixtures stay with the property, while fittings can be taken by the occupant when they leave.
