Inventory List
Provide a numbered inventory that names each fitting or appliance, includes manufacturer and model where applicable, and uses precise language to avoid disputes over what transfers with the property.
A clear Real Estate Fittings record reduces closing disputes, documents condition and ownership of fixtures, and supports accurate settlement statements. It protects buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants by creating an agreed, signed inventory that can be referenced in inspections or contested claims.
Sellers, buyers, landlords, tenants, property managers, and real estate agents commonly use Real Estate Fittings to document included and excluded items.
Keeping this document with the closing or lease file simplifies inspections and supports proof of agreement if disputes arise.
Provide a numbered inventory that names each fitting or appliance, includes manufacturer and model where applicable, and uses precise language to avoid disputes over what transfers with the property.
Record the observable condition using consistent categories (new, good, fair, poor), note repairs or defects, and include dates for recent maintenance to provide context at closing.
Attach dated, labeled photographs and reference their filenames in the inventory. High-resolution images with timestamps reduce ambiguity and support claims where condition is disputed. Include wide and close-up shots.
Clearly state whether each item is included or excluded, and define whether 'fixtures' includes built-in appliances, window treatments, or custom cabinetry to prevent differing interpretations.
Provide signature lines for all parties with printed name, title (if corporate), and date. If witnesses or notarization are required by state law, include acknowledgement blocks accordingly.
Include space for post-execution amendments signed and dated by all parties. Require initialing of any inline corrections and provide a clear procedure for replacements or re-execution.
