What we take on after a fire
You do not have to clean the house, repair fire damage, or haul debris to sell it to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
You can tell us what happened before taking on a restoration or cleanout project. If officials have restricted access or said the structure is unsafe, follow their directions and do not enter.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
Tell us what was damaged and what you know about safe access, the insurance claim, and the mortgage. We discuss the property, give you a written offer and written terms before you commit, and close through a title company. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Local building and permit questions
For a property inside the City of Coatesville, the City Codes page is a starting point for code questions. City Hall is at 1 City Hall Place, Coatesville, PA 19320; its published main number is 610-384-0300. Ask which office handles the question for your address. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, contact the municipality responsible for the property to ask whether permits or inspections apply.
The City maps page links an Addressing Map and Chester County's ChescoViews parcel-information map. Use them as public starting points for checking an address, then confirm address-specific requirements with the responsible office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair and cleanup estimates, debris removal, the time and costs of carrying the property while work is underway, and the work you want to take on beside the written offer and terms. Include property-specific amounts such as a mortgage payoff or liens in your comparison. For insurance proceeds and mortgage requirements, confirm how they apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
The Coatesville home-sale calculator lets you compare possible sale proceeds using your own planning assumptions. It is an estimate, not a repair quote or an insurance-claim estimate.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
