Hello
my general contractor offers a 5-year warranty for the building structure and a 2-year warranty for the movable parts.
What is considered "movable" inside a house?
Is this documented anywhere?
Mechanical ventilation, doors, windows...??
Thank you very much!

that includes, as mentioned, the kitchen If I recall my property law lecture correctly, the kitchen can be a contentious issue. As far as I know, a custom-fitted built-in kitchen can indeed be considered part of the house, while a standard, basic kitchen unit can usually be removed without issue. The distinction is obviously gradual and open to interpretation. With renters, it is generally assumed that they will take their fitted kitchen with them when they move out. I quickly found a court ruling where the kitchen was included in the house during a foreclosure sale.

custom-fitted kitchen [... ] standard kitchen unit Standard lawyer’s response: It depends!
Basically, the kitchen isn’t that difficult.
The cabinet units are usually standard (e.g., 60cm (24 inches) wide) and therefore fit into any room in any house. Often, the only special item is the cheap particleboard countertop, which can be replaced at a low cost.
A kitchen custom-made specifically for the house is more likely a designer piece made from cast stone or something similar.

You forget that the kitchen should be considered as a whole unit, and for example, a countertop that extends to the window and a custom cabinet could be the deciding factor, even if it doesn't make up the majority of the kitchen's acquisition costs.
However, I think hardly anyone will get their kitchen through the general contractor; a satellite system is more likely, which would be covered by the 2-year warranty.

I believe that when it comes to fitted kitchens, the important factor is not necessarily the quality, but whether it is installed permanently.
In a private home, this would mean that the kitchen was installed for long-term use and can therefore be considered a fixed part of the house. I think it is similar in rental apartments where a kitchen is included and rented out; the landlord installed it for the purpose of permanent use.
However, if the tenant brings their own kitchen, which can also be custom-made and of high quality, it might be considered a movable item since it is not intended for permanent use, as the tenant could take the kitchen when moving out.
I believe this is a matter of interpretation and depends on how it is argued.

The original poster probably isn’t worried about the kitchen.
His question about the controlled residential ventilation system or heating system was already explained by the building expert.
Whether a kitchen is considered a movable item depends on a well thought-out and precise formulation to achieve the intended outcome.
With an expensive kitchen where the countertop also serves as a window sill, the remodeling costs are relatively low, so it can be considered a movable item.
