my bad typo - should be d'entretien
Richard Benham Nov 5, 2004:
Seriously, the word "fixed" springs to mind, but you'd need a bit of a rewrite, perhaps.

in the nature of fixtures

"par destination" implied

Eg
"It is acknowledged that prime cost items, plant, fittings **in the nature of fixtures** form part of the premises to be mortgaged
Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Benham : Yes. The important point is that these are things which become part of the building, i.e. are fixed in place rather than easily (re)movable.

thanks - didn't see it last time

It should actually be \"fixtures\"; \"fittings\" is \"agencements\"
