Q: We are buying a new home and did our walk-through before the closing. Not only was the fancy chandelier changed for a simple ceiling light, but the high-end washer and dryer had been replaced with well-used basic models. We are distraught. What can we do? — Jon
A: When people agree to buy and sell a property, they must sign a written agreement. The contract must have the specific terms of the deal, such as timing, price, contingencies, and what is and is not included with the home.
Buying property includes the land, the structures built on it, and the appliances and fixtures permanently attached to the structures. This includes things like doors, pool filters, light fixtures, stoves and garage openers.
