subject: Chattels and Fixtures: What's the Difference? [print this page] Since fixtures are things that are assumed to be included in a home, any that will not be included must be specified within the Reference Schedule of the conveyancing contract. Similarly, any chattels that will be included - i.e., a particularly nice fridge that's being used to sweeten the deal - must be specified, too. In fact, any item that could be disputed at a later time - whether it's removed or included - should be specified within the contract in order to avoid any confusion later on down the road.
