Fixtures are items in a
building or on land which legally are considered to have become part of the land
and are, therefore, subject to any contract for the sale of that land.
Fittings are items which are not treated as having become part of the land and so
are not subject to any contract for the sale of that land, unless the contract
specifically includes them.
Items which are physically attached to the house or land,such as fixed shelving or
fitted cupboards, are usually fixtures.
Items which are not fixed are usually fittings.
