There are three tests that courts use to determine whether a particular object has become a fixture and thus has become real property: annexation, adaptation, and intention. Disputes over fixtures often arise in the transfer of real property and in landlord-tenant relations.
The attachment method is the most important in determining the two. If the object has formed part of the home and has been used by the initial tenants, then it is considered a fixture and not personal property, for example, built-in electronics like a microwave or a fan.
Final answer: The value of an annexed item is not typically considered when determining if an item is a fixture or personal property.
