SAFELY providing Access to a FIRE DAMAGED House to Wholesale
Dealing with a Fire Damaged multi level home. Its experienced a MAJOR fire years ago and has been vacant since. A lot of the floor joists and sub flooring along with staircases in the home were charred and compromised by the fire. They are challenging to even set foot on for viewing purposes. The Owners who received a settlement check from insurance in the past, have now surfaced and want to SELL the property. They are concerned about me or anyone else (contractors, vendors, tradesman, inspectors, etc.) injuring themselves when attempting to VIEW the property; particularly the interior of the house given the compromised floors and staircases.
The potential liability is what the are concerned with YET the property has sat VACANT for several years.
To Appease their concern; I suggested that ANY and ALL on site visits to view the property would be supervised and that
ALL visitors would be required to SIGN a Waiver Disclaimer - releasing US (as the Buyer/Wholesaler) and the Property owners/Seller from any liability.
Any thoughts on this approach to appease the seller and their attorney?
(much appreciated)
