Without being able to see the fences, there's no way for me to know if it would be considered a fixture or not. It's probably safe to assume if the fence posts are set into the ground, then it would be considered a fixture. What does your agent say?

The fencing around the stables has disappeared and the seller says he will take more fencing (corral) because these were built with "portable" fencing. 1) Is a horse corral built with "portable" fencing considered a fixture? 2) Are the fences (built with "portable" fencing as well) surrounding the stables to keep the horses from wondering considered a fixture.

You may be offered a 5% discount but the next company may offer 7%, remember we are in a recession and the buyer is king.

And I thought I'd heard all the questions!! My take is that something attached with velcro would not be considered a "permanent attachment" so it would not be considered a fixture. Velcro is, by it's nature, temporary. As silly as this sounds, the part of the velcro that's stuck to the wall would be a fixture. Believe it or not if you put a nail in the wall to hang a picture, the picture itself is not a fixture, but the nail IS... Jay Sara –
