Sell Your Chesapeake House As-Is: Heavy Rain, Flood Zones, Repairs

Hurricane Matthew dropped 14.21 inches of rain at Chesapeake in October 2016, and the tide gauge at Money Point rose to 3.43 feet above the normal high-tide line. Strong northerly winds knocked out power across Chesapeake and the rest of Tidewater, and many streets were blocked by floodwater, fallen trees or downed lines 3. If water or a falling tree damaged your house, then or since, you don't have to fix it before you sell. Tell us about it on the call.

The City says most of Chesapeake is susceptible to some level of flooding, and that flooding can happen outside a flood zone too 4. Across South Hampton Roads, more than one in five claims to the National Flood Insurance Program have been for properties outside the high-risk flood zones 5. If you know your flood zone, or you've filed a flood claim, have it handy when you call.

Cash Offer or Listing With an Agent in Chesapeake?

A well-kept Chesapeake house listed with an agent may sell for more than our cash offer, given time. Getting there costs something: the agent's commission, the fixes a buyer's inspection brings up, and the mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it's on the market. The Chesapeake market figures show how many days listings have been taking.

So compare take-home money, not asking prices. The cost example for Chesapeake estimates what a listing would leave you; set our written offer beside it.

Selling a Virginia House in a Hard Spot

If one of these sounds like your situation, here's what Virginia law generally says about it, in plain terms. For advice on your own situation, talk to a Virginia attorney.

Facing foreclosureA trustee sells the house at auction. Here are the notice rules and the timeline.

For a Chesapeake home you live in, the trustee has to send notice of the sale by certified or registered mail at least 60 days before it, and the notice points you to HUD-approved housing counselors and Virginia's legal aid center 6. The auction itself can be held at the house, in front of the city's circuit court building, or at another place in Chesapeake 7. If a date is set, call a housing counselor, and talk to a Virginia real estate attorney before you sign anything.

Inherited a houseWho handles the will, who inherits without one, and what the small-asset affidavit covers.

Chesapeake wills are probated by the Circuit Court Clerk. The City's probate page explains that probate is needed when the person owned assets, real estate included, in their name alone, with no co-owner holding rights of survivorship. Call ahead for an appointment with a probate clerk, fill out the Application for Probate Appointment first, and bring the original will and a certified copy of the death certificate or a copy of the obituary; the clerk's office is at 757-382-3000 8. Tell us where the estate stands, and we'll plan the settlement around it.

Behind on paymentsA servicer generally can't start foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind.

Federal rules generally bar a mortgage servicer from starting foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind 9. Once a Virginia trustee's sale is set, the 60-day notice clock is already running, so the time before that is the time to call your servicer about options, or to sell before a notice ever goes out.

Going through a divorceHow a Virginia court can divide a house in a divorce, and why selling can make it simpler.

In a Virginia divorce, the court decides which property is marital and which is separate, and property titled in both spouses' names is generally marital. To divide a jointly owned house, the court can give it to one spouse, let one buy out the other, or order it sold 10. Selling it yourselves turns the house into money that's simpler to divide. Your divorce attorneys can tell you what your order requires before either of you signs a contract.

Selling a rental with tenantsYour tenants don't have to move out first. Bring the lease and the deposit records to the call.

The tenant doesn't have to move out before we make an offer. A month-to-month tenancy can generally be ended by written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date, unless the lease sets a different period 11. A security deposit can't be more than two months' rent, and it has to be accounted for when the tenancy ends 12. Tell us about the lease, the rent and the deposit on the call.

Moving away or downsizingLine the sale up with your move, and ask your next city or county about tax relief at 65.

The sale can line up with your move. If you're 65 or older and moving to another Virginia home, ask that city or county about real estate tax relief. Virginia lets each locality exempt or defer some or all of the tax on a home owned and lived in by someone 65 or older, on conditions the locality sets 13.

Selling a House in Historic South Norfolk

South Norfolk grew up as a streetcar suburb south of Norfolk. Builders put up mostly single-family houses along its gridded streets between 1890 and the 1930s, and the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 1.

Inside the South Norfolk local historic district, a Certificate of Appropriateness is needed for most exterior work that can be seen from a paved public street, including roof, window, porch, foundation and siding repairs 2. That review covers changing a house, not selling it. If exterior work was done without a certificate, or is waiting on one, tell us on the call.

Chesapeake Cash Home Buyers: Common Questions

Prefer to talk it through?

Call (984) 489-8269
How fast can you buy my house in Chesapeake?

Once you accept our written offer, a Chesapeake settlement can happen in as little as 14 days. The title search and your mortgage payoff statement usually set the date; your lender has to send the payoff within seven business days of a written request 15. An estate or a tenant can add a step, and you can always pick a later day.

How do you decide your cash offer on a Chesapeake house?

We ask about the house by phone and base the offer on your answers: when it was built, the roof, the foundation, whether it's on city water and sewer or a well and septic system, any water that's come in during heavy rain, the repairs you've put off, and who lives there now. If a line in the written offer isn't clear, ask us how we reached it.

How much will a cash buyer pay for my Chesapeake house?

It depends on the house and what you tell us about it, mostly its condition and the work it needs. The offer comes as a written dollar amount, and the cost example for Chesapeake helps you weigh it against a listing's take-home.

Will a cash offer be lower than listing my Chesapeake house?

In most cases. If your Chesapeake house is in good shape and you can wait, an agent may find a buyer who pays more. What counts is what's left once the commission, the repairs and the holding costs are paid.

Do I have to disclose problems if I sell my Chesapeake house as-is?

Some things, yes. Virginia's standard disclosure statement says the owner makes no representations about the house's condition 16. But an owner who knows the National Flood Insurance Program has paid two or more claims of more than $1,000 on the house within ten years must disclose it 17. In Chesapeake, tell us about any flooding you know of.

My Chesapeake house is near Fentress Airfield. Does that affect the sale?

It can add a disclosure. Fentress is a Naval Auxiliary Landing Field in southeastern Chesapeake that the Navy uses as part of its Naval Air Station Oceana operation, and the City's Fentress Airfield Overlay District takes in properties inside the field's noise contours 18. Virginia law has an owner in a locality with a military air installation say whether the parcel lies in a noise zone or accident potential zone on the official zoning map 19. Check the City's overlay map before you sign.
