House Lifting on the South Shore

[Christian Butler]

Hi all, 

I've encountered a few instances in my home searching where I've found houses I was interested in but they either have a lifting requirement in place as part of sale agreement, or given the history it would really be a bad idea not to lift it even if not required. In most cases, I just move on and forget about it because I figure it'd be more of a headache than it's worth, but figured I'd ask around and see if anyone has experience with this. 

Common challenges you've encountered? Is there a percentage of sale price estimate you use to budget for a house lift, and what factors are included? Would love to have a go-to analysis strategy I could use to evaluate must-lift properties.

Thanks!

Christian
