Buying a Home - Getting Started

Obviously, when you buy a house you get the house and the property beneath it. If your home is not connected to a utility's water and sewage, you may get your own well and septic tank.

Who gets the furnishings when a home is sold?

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.
