appliances not specified in purchase agreement

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a SFH in Kansas City. When I inspected the property a dishwasher, washing machine, wash and dryer were all present. When I took possession of the property these were gone. There is nothing about appliances listed in the contract. I realize this is an oversight on my part and I should have realized that when signing. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to get these back. Is the seller allowed to take appliances?

Chattels not included with the sale of a home such as certain special light fixtures. mirrors etc. that would be assumed to be included are usually made note of as not included. The same would apply to appliances. The seller should have indicated that the appliances were not included depending on the standard practice in your area. Your agent would know those practices and be able to tell you if appliances are included unless otherwise noted. Assumptions can work in your favour in this case. Had you asked the seller would have stated they are not included so now if th epractice is that they are included you will have a case to demand they be returned. It's a no lose situation from your position. Ask your agent and proceed accordingly.
