I’m selling my house and the roof fails inspection. What do I do??? A roof inspection can end a potential deal when selling a house. Don’t be let a failed inspection derail your sale. There are steps you can take to avoid taking your house off the market when you’re ready to sell. Selling a home can be a stressful process for all parties involved. It’s important to keep in mind that the buyer would not have gotten an inspection if they were not truly interested in buying the home. They want to buy your house just as much as you want to sell it.
If there are missing shingles you may be eligible for an insurance claim. This works best for all parties involved because the roof may get fully replaced by the insurance company. Minor repairs benefit everyone because they can be completed quickly and keep costs down. Having the right roofing professional look at your roof is critical in this process.
But what happens if the roof is not eligible for replacement by way of insurance?
A lot of times the roof just needs some simple maintenance and even though it can be expensive at times this shouldn’t end a potential deal. Now the roof has lived its life and just needs to be replaced. Keep in mind that a new roof will substantially increase the value of your home.
A good realtor will help you find the right professional to help with this. You can get a reasonably priced roof for $7,500.00 on average. These expenses can be worked into closing and both parties bear some of the cost. Remember, if a buyer is truly interested in purchasing your home, they’ll be willing to work with you to ensure the transaction can be completed.
