Negotiating - Q & A
| Q: |
Who gets the
furnishings when a home is sold? |
| A: |
Fixtures,
any kind of personal property that is permanently attached to a house
(such as drapery rods, built-in bookcases, tacked-down carpeting or a
furnace), automatically stay with the house unless specified otherwise
in the sales contract. But you can consider anything that is not nailed
down negotiable. This most often involves appliances that are not built
in (washer, dryer, refrigerator, for example), although some sellers
will be interested in negotiating for other items, such as a piano. |
