A fixture is generally considered part of the land, while a chattel remains a personal property item. The degree and purpose of attachment are key in determining whether an item is a fixture or chattel. Given that the light fitting is attached only by small screws and can be easily removed without damage, it is likely considered a chattel, allowing the client to remove it.
Key Point: Determining whether an item is a fixture or a chattel depends on the degree and purpose of attachment to the property. Chattels can be removed by the seller unless otherwise specified in the contract.
