FAQs About Inherited Houses Needing Repairs in Thornton
Not when you sell to us. We buy properties as-is, meaning no repairs, updates, or cleaning are required. Many inherited homes, especially older properties in south Thornton, need work that heirs cannot afford or do not want to manage. We handle all repairs after purchase.
We purchase properties with virtually any condition issues: roof problems, foundation issues, outdated kitchens and bathrooms, HVAC failures, plumbing problems, electrical issues, water damage, mold, fire damage, and general deferred maintenance. If the house has issues, we can still make an offer.
We factor repair costs into our offers. Properties needing significant work will receive lower offers than move-in ready homes. However, selling as-is saves you the time, money, and stress of managing renovations. Our offers account for repairs while still providing fair value for your situation.
It depends on your situation. If you have cash for repairs, time to manage contractors, and patience for a 3-6 month renovation, you may get a higher sale price on the open market. However, many heirs find the hassle not worth it, especially when dealing with estate settlement. Selling as-is provides a faster, simpler path forward.
We buy properties with contents included. You can take what you want and leave the rest. We handle cleanout and disposal as part of our purchase. This is particularly helpful for estate situations where decades of belongings have accumulated.

About Thornton Properties Needing Repairs
It is common for inherited properties to need repairs. Perhaps the deceased was elderly and could not maintain the home in recent years. Maybe the house was a rental that tenants did not care for. Or the property simply has not been updated since the 1970s or 1980s, which is common in south Thornton.
Thornton spans a wide range of home ages, from 1970s ranches in south Thornton to 2020s new construction in north Thornton. Whatever the situation, you have options.
Typical Repair Costs
- Kitchen remodel: $15,000-$50,000+ depending on scope
- Bathroom remodel: $8,000-$25,000+ per bathroom
