Where I live the general rule is anything that was attached is considered part of the home you're buying/selling. If you don't want the light switches and thermostat being sold they should be removed and replaced before you show the home.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoWhat is or is not included in the home sale should be explicitly listed in the property listing. Many houses are shown with contents that will be removed before sale, so when you buy a house, if there's something you're expecting to get as part of it, you should explicitly document it in your offer terms.
- fredophile 9y agoThere are always going to be local norms and laws though. Where I live and recently bought a home the default is that anything bolted/screwed down is part of the home you're buying. Furniture, art, etc is not included. Most sellers will include the major kitchen appliances, washers and dryers are on a case by case basis. When I bought, the sellers wanted to keep some shelving and curtain rods and this (along with the major appliances) was explicitly covered in the contract.
