This is the first time I hwar of this.

At least in Norway the rule is that everything that is built in stays.

So table, chairs, TV, washing machine, dryer etc goes, but built in appliances and built in place furniture stays.

Yeah, from what I understand this is not the norm in the Nordic states, but it is elsewhere.
It’s the same in the Netherlands with the very odd exception for floors. Solid wooden floors are included but if it “laminaat” or anything not glued/nailed, it has to be explicitly mentioned in the sale contract. Just like with window shades etc.
