Local code and safety questions
Do not enter a structure if it may be unsafe or officials have restricted access. Follow the directions on the property's notices and from officials responsible for that property. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask those officials what work is allowed and whether a permit is required.
For a home within Seaford city limits, the City lists its Code Department for code questions. Ask whether City review or a permit applies to planned repair work. This is a municipal contact; for a property outside City limits, follow the office and instructions named on its notices.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare written cleanup, repair, or rebuilding estimates with the as-is written offer and its terms. Consider the work you want to manage, how long it may take, the property's costs while you decide, and any instructions from your insurer, mortgage servicer, or local officials.
Use the Seaford home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare a listing estimate with what you may net under your own planning assumptions. It is an estimate, not an insurance payout or contractor quote.
