ᐅ Warranty and Movable Items

A refrigerator is as movable as a piano. Items are considered movable if they can be removed without causing significant damage to the property on which they are located. Therefore, refrigerators, including built-in refrigerators, are movable items. Permanently installed pipes in the house are not movable items, just like the house itself.

I already mentioned this above. Movable items are those that are not included in the notarized sale. This includes, as mentioned, the kitchen or furniture, but not the interior doors. A heating system is also not a movable item, as it clearly belongs to the house.

You can also make it easy and simply ask the general contractor where they only want to give a 2-year warranty.

Object, movable

All physical items that are not land or parts of land are referred to as movable objects.

The house clearly belongs to the land (see the land registry). Therefore, everything that directly belongs to the house should be considered immovable property. This means everything included in the notarized sale and subject to property tax at the end belongs to the house.

Many people have now given their own definitions here, but is there a legally binding definition that I can refer to?

See the Building Code. This is where property law is regulated. What you are looking for is defined in sections §§94 ff. of the Building Code.

I could imagine 2 years, for example, for the SAT receiver supplied by the general contractor. This might also apply to the satellite dish, unlike the cabling.

Then it is up to the general contractor’s interpretation, and as the client you depend on them. The general contractor can define everything except the walls as “movable”!!! How are a central ventilation system or an air-source heat pump heating system treated? 2 years or 5 years warranty?

This is by no means at the discretion of the general contractor! Sections 93/94 of the Building Code clearly define what is part of the house and what is not.

With ventilation systems, as with heating systems, the units themselves are naturally subject to a 5-year warranty; however, maintenance-intensive accessories are not covered.
