We buy inherited houses in NOLA 7th Ward

We regularly purchase inherited houses across New Orleans, and this property in the 7th Ward is a great example. Inherited properties often come with challenges  like multiple heirs, deferred maintenance, and homes filled with belongings. For heirs, selling through a realtor would mean cleaning out the house, handling repairs, and waiting months for a buyer. Instead, selling to an investor like us provides a faster and simpler path.

This particular house had been in the same family for generations. There were multiple heirs, including some from previous marriages, and all agreed it was time to sell. The home had serious termite damage and foundation issues, along with years of belongings still inside. It wasn’t move-in ready for a homeowner, but that’s exactly the type of project we’re set up to handle.

We buy houses in any condition in New Orleans. For inherited homes like this, our attorneys can also assist with succession, ensuring the title is clear and ready for closing. Even if the paperwork hasn’t been completed yet, we can arrange for succession costs to come directly out of the proceeds of the sale, meaning no out-of-pocket costs for the heirs.

You can watch the video of our Founder Aussie Steve talking about the property and the situation.

Q: Can I sell an inherited house in the 7th Ward without fixing it up first?
A: Yes. We buy inherited houses as-is, no repairs or updates required.

Q: What happens if the property has multiple heirs?
A: That’s very common in New Orleans. Our title attorneys will coordinate with all heirs, obtain signatures, and handle succession as part of the closing process.

Q: What if the house is full of belongings?
A: Don’t worry about cleaning it out. Take what matters to you, and leave the rest. We donate what we can and handle the remaining cleanup.

Hey guys, Aussie Steve here from Home by Louisiana. We buy houses in any condition in Louisiana. I’m here at a house in Orleans Parish today in the Seventh Ward. The story of this house is that it’s been in the family for a long time. There are five owners, some from previous marriages, etc. All of them have agreed to sell, and we’re pushing forward with the purchase.

Their title attorney will need to handle some successions, but we take care of that as part of the sales process. Although the property holds sentimental value, it has fallen into disrepair due to complications with multiple owners not contributing to maintenance.

It’s a common scenario when multiple people own a property, making it challenging to decide who pays for repairs. Unfortunately, the house has termite damage, as you can see behind me. This front room is unsafe to walk on, and the termite nest is evident. The foundation was bored right onto the ground, leading to these issues.

Despite the repairs needed, we buy houses like this all the time. This triplex isn’t ready to be sold to a homeowner or through a realtor without significant work. We are accustomed to handling successions, and if you’ve inherited a property and want to sell it, we can assist. The title attorney can handle the succession paperwork, and the cost can come out of the proceeds of the sale.

Whether you’ve inherited a property or have a house in similar condition, reach out to us at Home by Louisiana. We’re willing to buy properties like this, and we use our contractors and expertise to make the necessary repairs. We offer a fair price for properties in these conditions, as our repair costs are often lower than those of regular individuals.

After fixing up the property, we may either sell it to a homeowner or keep it as a rental. In the case of this triplex, we’re considering both options. If you have a property to discuss, give us a call or visit our website at homebylouisiana.com. We’re always happy to chat about your situation with no pressure. We don’t need to buy every house, and we’re open to having a conversation regardless of the outcome. Thanks so much, guys, and have a good one
