We can sell your house fast in Alburtis PA

A sewer line inspection. If your home is on the borough sewer, you must hire a licensed master plumber approved by the borough's plumbing inspector before the sale. The plumber checks the home's drains and records a video of the building sewer and lateral to make sure no rain or groundwater is getting in. Any defects must be repaired and certified before settlement, so book the plumber as soon as you decide to sell.

The seller hires and pays for it, but borough code says the plumber also works on behalf of the buyer and the borough and must report any problems to all of you. The report covers the sewer's condition, the pipe type and length, any trouble spots, whether there's a sump pump and whether anything prohibited drains into the sewer. Keep a copy for your records.

Yes, with one exception. We buy Alburtis homes as-is, from newer townhouses to houses built before 1940, without commissions or fees, and you don't need to repaint, replace flooring or clear out first. The exception is the sewer line: the inspection must come before the sale, and borough code requires any defects it finds to be fixed and certified before settlement. After that, the closing date is yours to choose.

The Lehigh County Register of Wills (Clerk of Judicial Records) handles probate when the owner lived in Lehigh County, which includes Alburtis. Pennsylvania law places probate in the county where the owner last lived, so if the owner lived in another Pennsylvania county, that county's Register of Wills handles it instead. If the owner lived outside Pennsylvania, the will can be probated in any Pennsylvania county where they owned property, including the county this home is in.
