What happens to chattels affixed to a building?

Chattels become fixtures when they are attached to a building or land in a way that shows an intention to be permanent and to form part of the real property. The practical test looks at how the item is fixed and whether removing it would damage the property or it would be impractical to remove. When both the attachment and the intention indicate permanence, the item is treated as part of the building and land rather than as personal property. That’s why the correct outcome is that it becomes part of the building and land. The other ideas ignore this permanence or the practical and intentional factors that convert chattels into fixtures.
