Generally speaking, items that are "afixed" to the house in some way are considered to be "fixtures" and not personal chattel that are taken.  Additionally, if the seller wants to exclude specific items they must usually list those items in the cotract of sale or they are consdiered to be part of the deal.  Please get legal help.  Good luck.
