How Cash Buyers Can Help Avoid Problems Selling
Old Denver Homes

• Selling a home in Denver can be a headache,
  even if it is relatively new or in good
  condition. Selling an old house combines these
  challenges with others, common to old buildings.
  The designs and issues faced by homeowners vary
  as much as house designs generally do. Some
  houses may still use boilers for heating, others
  may have lead paint or asbestos in the walls. Any
  one of these challenges could metaphorically, and
  literally, drive potential buyers out the door
  leaving the owner strapped for cash and an
  unwanted home.

• Common problems with old houses
• There are a few common issues owners of old
  houses may face
• Cracked foundation
• Leaky roof
• Aged plumbing
• Buyers in the Denver area, especially
  first-time buyers, may be looking for a home
  without pre-existing conditions to avoid having
  to worry about providing cash for the renovation.
  Here is how each of these issues may manifest.

Cracked foundation

• The foundation is an essential part of the
  structure of a house. A cracked or broken
  foundation may cause the walls and floors to warp
  or may have issues with flooding generally.
  Foundations can be expensive to repair. The
  typical foundation repair costs a few thousand
  dollars if the adjustment isnt too complicated.
  This is cash that owners may not readily have on
  hand.

Leaky roof

• An old home that hasnt had its shingles
  replaced recently, or has issues with the roof
  sheathing, could create issues from summer rain
  or the cold Denver snow. Water seeping through
  the roof could not only damage the roof but the
  walls and structure below. A leak that has been
  neglected for years may potentially cause
  structural damage unnoticed by the homeowner.
  Repairs can be simple or complicated depending on
  how much of the structure has been damaged.
  Owners may not have the cash on hand to be able
  to make the necessary repairs to fix damage
  before selling.

Aged Plumbing

• Many homes built around 1980 and after
  typically use PVC or pex pipes. Occasionally,
  older homes may have been built using lead,
  copper, or cast iron piping. Metal pipes have a
  tendency to corrode and degrade. Over time
  homeowners may experience pipe leaks and breaks
  with more frequency. Lead piping may degrade and
  begin to leave traces of lead in tap water which
  may cause lead poisoning if consumed.

• Water that is cloudy or otherwise polluted
  when coming out of faucets is a good indication
  that the pipes in the house should be replaced.
  Cash buyers can alleviate the pressure by
  purchasing the residence and fronting the
  finances needed for repairs.

Cash home buyers can help

• With all these issues arising from an aging
  house, owners may be content selling the home to
  a cash buyer in Denver for a fair price. Houses
  can generally be sold as is without inspection or
  appraisals. Doing so transfers the burdens of
  repair and selling off the plate of the original
  owner, freeing them of the financial and
  emotional stress an old fixer-upper home can
  bring.
