Built-ins is a real estate term you should know. Bankrate explains.
Built-ins are any items that are permanently attached to a real estate property. These include items such as large appliances and cabinetry.
Built-ins are any items that do not leave the property but remain a part of the permanent structure of a home. This includes any type of permanent appliances, cabinetry, furniture that’s built into the home, such as shelving or benches, and other attached items.
In a sales agreement between the home buyer and seller, the contract will specify the property’s built-ins. The property owner can negotiate with a real estate agent about what is to remain in the home after the sale. Some built-ins will be impossible to remove or modify without extensive reconstruction.

Whether or not this occurs depends on the terms agreed upon by both parties. When buying a home, Laurie expects the home’s current dishwasher to remain. It is a built-in, so it’s attached to the structure of the home, and it’s easier for Laurie to use it as is than invest in and install a new one.
