We buy houses that need work

Hudson Valley housing is old. Much of it was built before 1960, and we regularly see original oil boilers, knob-and-tube wiring, failing septic systems, slate or multi-layer roofs, wet stone foundations, lead paint and asbestos insulation. We also buy after fires and water damage, with mold, with open permits, and with building department violations.

Why repairs make a traditional sale hard

Most buyers use a mortgage, and lenders and appraisers may refuse homes with safety or habitability problems. FHA and VA loans in particular have property condition standards. Inspections often turn into a second negotiation, and buyers walk away. Fixing everything first means coming up with cash, hiring contractors, pulling permits and waiting.

How as-is pricing works

We estimate what the house is worth once it is repaired, subtract the cost of the work, plus holding, selling and closing costs and our margin, and make a written offer. We will walk you through the reasoning. You don't have to fix, clean or empty anything.

Disclosure in New York

New York's Property Condition Disclosure Act requires most residential sellers to complete a disclosure statement before contract. Since March 2024 sellers can no longer give a $500 credit instead. Be honest about what you know; your attorney can help you fill it out.

Open violations and permits

Each city, town and village has its own building department. Open violations or work done without permits can hold up a financed sale. We can usually buy with these unresolved and deal with them after closing.

Common issues we buy with

  • Roof leaks and ceiling damage
  • Foundation cracks and wet basements
  • Old oil tanks (above-ground or buried)
  • Failed septic or well problems
  • Mold and water damage
  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Hoarding situations and full-house cleanouts

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to fix anything before selling to you?

No. We buy as-is, including major structural or code issues.

Do I still have to fill out the disclosure statement?

Generally yes for residential sales in New York. Your attorney can advise.

Do you buy fire-damaged houses?

Yes. If there is an insurance claim open, let us know so it can be handled correctly at closing.

Will repairs lower the offer?

Yes, the cost of repairs is reflected in an as-is price. We'll explain how we got to the number.
