Which statement is correct regarding chattels and fixtures in an agreement of purchase and sale?

1. Chattels are not relevant in agreements

2. Fixtures need special consent to be included

3. A BBQ attached to a deck is a fixture

4. Fixtures are typically included automatically

The correct answer is: Fixtures are typically included automatically

In an agreement of purchase and sale, fixtures are typically included automatically. Fixtures are items that are attached to the property in a way that removing them would cause damage. They are considered part of the property and are usually included in the sale unless specifically excluded in the agreement. This is why option D is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because chattels, which are movable personal property like furniture or appliances, are indeed relevant in agreements. Option B is incorrect as fixtures do not need special consent to be included; they are typically assumed to be included unless stated otherwise. Option C is incorrect as a BBQ attached to a deck would usually be considered a fixture rather than a chattel due to its method of attachment to the property.
