Plumbing? Doesn't that usually stay with the house?

Appliances and plumbing - usually that means dishwasher, remove and reinstall, etc

Even appliances usually stay with the house, IME.

That's not a universal expectation. In Germany for example, it's typical to furnish your own appliances and to take them when you move.

Built ins are expected to stay- freestanding things like refrigerators and washer/dryers are usually negotiable. We just replaced our built in oven/burners with a slide out one and not sure what the expectation will be with that one...

Pretty sure he means connecting the appliances to the water and sewage lines. I've never heard of anyone taking their toilet or shower with them ;)
