Has the personal property been permanently annexed to the real estate? Is it intended to become part of the real estate? And finally, what is the local custom? Usual fixtures fix-tures might include: shades, heaters, ranges, screens, storm windows, lighting fixtures, etc. It is important that the seller spell out specifically in his sales agreement exactly what he intends to give to the! buyer as part of real estate.
