Fixtures

What are fixtures? 

Fixtures are permanent items or features that are attached to a property and are considered part of the property. These are things like built-in appliances and built-in cabinets or shelves. Essentially, fixtures are things that are affixed to the property and are not meant to be easily removed. 

What are some examples of fixtures? 

Examples of fixtures in a property include: 

• Built-in kitchen appliances (stove, oven, dishwasher)
• Bathroom fixtures (sink, toilet, bathtub)
• Built-in cabinets or shelves
• Ceiling fans
• Built-in bookcases or entertainment centres
• Central heating and cooling systems

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.
