Common questions
About fixer upper homes in Utah.
How much is a fixer-upper in Utah? ▾

How fast do fixer-uppers sell in Utah? ▾

Should I test an older Utah home for radon? ▾
Yes. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality reports high radon levels in about 1 in 3 Utah homes tested, and testing is the only way to know. Short-term test kits are inexpensive and can be part of the inspection period.
What should I know about buying a pre-1978 home? ▾
Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. Federal law requires the seller to disclose any known lead paint and to give the buyer a 10-day opportunity to test for it, which the buyer can shorten or waive. Contractors who disturb lead paint must follow EPA lead-safe work rules.
Can I inspect a home that is sold as-is in Utah? ▾
Yes. As-is means the seller won't make repairs, not that you can't inspect. Keep your due diligence period, get the inspection, and price the work before it ends.
