A chattel on the o...
In property law, the law of fixtures is founded on the maxim ‘quicquid plantatur solo cedit’. That is, whatever is attached to the land becomes a part thereof.

It is a principle of land law that any chattels attached to land, become part of the land and are known as fixtures. This is expressed in the Latin maxim quicquid plantatur solo, solo credit (whatever is attached to the soil becomes part of it).
A fixture is any item that is included as part of a conveyance of land (that is, where land is given from one party to another, and such an exchange includes all of the rights and obligations over that land) according to s.62 of the Law of Property Act 1925.
There have been many attempts to define fixtures and fittings, sometimes even by the court, but essentially, fixtures are anything attached (fixed) to the building. In contrast, fittings are anything not attached unless very loosely so – perhaps by a screw or a nail.
This Note provides an overview of the complexity of the law as it applies to the classification of fixtures and chattels, together with related concepts of tenant fixtures and building materials.
