Given the nature that flat screen TV wall mounts are attached to the wall it would seem (to me in my opinion) that they would be considered a fixture. However, if the seller did not intend for the TV to be attached to the home would it be a fixture or personal property? The mount however by both its name and the way it is attached to the home could be considered part of the house thus it would be a fixture.
When looking at a home that has a wall mounted TV it would be wise to verify with the seller that the TV stays or that it goes. If the TV goes make sure if the mount is staying behind or it it will be removed. If the mount is going to be removed you should get it in writing that the mount and TV will be removed and any damage caused by the mount to the wall will be repaired to your satisfaction. This needs to be in writing for the benefit of all parties.
Another related conversation might be are the home theater speakers that are mounted to the ceiling going to be staying with the home? If not then you would be well served to make sure that you have it in writing any damage caused by the speaker mounts will be repaired to your satisfaction prior to closing.
When it comes to purchasing a home remember you need everything in writing. If it’s not in writing you cannot count on it turning out the way you expect it to. Working with a Realtor who will take the time to go over the contract with you is something you should insist on. When you’re ready to talk we will be here.
