if you buy a partially/fully furnished house, list down (and take pics) of the furnishings & items in the house. and have your lawyer include the list in the S&P.

my bro in law once encountered a situation where his supposedly fully-furnished house was bare upon receiving the keys. it turned out that the seller took out the lamps, fans, furnitures, etc before leaving. and she tried to blame it on the contractor. only when my bro in law wanted to report to police did she come up with the missing items, saying that her husband managed to force the contractor to return the items. what a crock of sh1t

i made a list of all the things in the house during the 2nd viewing, before signing to anything.

Yes I did but I don't know what's the course of action if the items in the list are missing when you finally get your keys.
