Selling a House That Needs Major Repairs in Alberta
When a house needs real work — foundation movement, a failed roof, fire or water damage, mould, knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, Poly-B plumbing, a dead furnace — listing it puts you in a difficult spot. Buyers discount heavily for unknowns, lenders get cautious, and inspection reports turn into repair negotiations.
We buy Alberta houses in that exact condition. No quotes, no permits, no contractors, no cleaning. We take the property as it is and take on the work ourselves.
Repair problems we deal with regularly
Alberta's clay soils, freeze-thaw cycles and aging housing stock produce a predictable set of expensive problems. None of them surprise us.
- Foundation cracking, settlement and water ingress
- Fire and smoke damage; flood and sewer backup damage
- Mould, asbestos and other remediation
- Poly-B plumbing, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring
- Failed roofs, furnaces and hot water systems
- Unfinished or abandoned renovations
Why not just fix it and list?
Sometimes that is the better move, and we'll tell you if we think so. But renovation budgets in Alberta routinely run over, the work takes months you may not have, and the value added often doesn't cover the spend once carrying costs and commissions come off the other end.
