Major repairs
When the repair list is longer than your savings, selling the usual way gets hard fast. Lenders balk at a failing roof or a cracked foundation, and buyers who do show up tend to subtract a lot. You do not have to fix any of it to sell to us.
- Takes about 2 minutes
- No obligation to sell
What this situation usually means
On an older house, the big costs often arrive together: roof, heating and cooling, windows, a water heater, and sometimes something worse under the floor. Owners are left choosing between spending money on a house they are leaving and accepting a deep retail discount.
Selling as-is is a third path. We look at the house, price the work ourselves, and make one estimated offer.
After a contract is signed, we see the home, and a full inspection sets the final offer.
How Covent helps
We buy with the repairs still needed, so you never pay to fix a house you are leaving.
We do the inspection ourselves and price the work into the offer.
No buyer's lender or repair escrow stands between you and closing.
A bad foundation or heavy damage is fine as long as the house can be repaired. We don't buy teardowns.
What we need to look at
- The address, and what you know is wrong with it.
- Any inspection, estimate, or engineer report you already have.
- Whether the house is lived in, empty, or unsafe to enter.
Selling to Covent is simple
Enter your address and a few details, and we email you your estimated offer.
Common questions
Yes. Those are common. Condition changes our number, and it does not decide whether we will look.
We start from your description and photos for the estimate. After a contract is signed, we see the home and set the final offer after a full inspection.
Yes, if the house can be repaired. Covent buys houses with foundation problems as-is, and you don't fix anything first. Foundation work is one of the repairs that stops many buyers' lenders, so we price it into our offer instead.
We don't buy teardowns. If the house can be repaired, even with heavy damage or a bad foundation, we can look at it.
