What is the fair price for this old house?

February 22, 2008 – 8:46 pm

What is a fair price for a wood storage shed 12×36 it has an entrance wood door and 4 regular house windows?

This 3 years old building has never been used. The owner of the building is going to move. So I want to know what is a fair price for this building. It looks like a med. size trailer. This is all wood and has been nailed not stapled.

If you need more information let me know.And hope you can give me suggestion.We really want to buy a own house at this time.

Answer:

I suggest you call some manufacturers who make similiar storage buildings and get some price quotes for new ones, including delivery costs. That gives you something to work with.

Even if he moves it for free [a considerable expense when you buy a used one andhave to pay extra for it] - if it is in top condition - you can expect to pay a pretty penny for it as it is larger than usual. In our area [s.e. GA] if it has been finished, insulated, with internal siding and electric outlets etc. expect to pay between 4 and 6K, possibly more depening on condition.

A thing to be aware off - if you are renting - check with your landlord first to make sure he will allow you putting it on the property. Also keep in mind that you will need to get it moved again when you are moving…

If it is your own property - keep in mind access - it will come on a large truck and if you are fenced in and have a narrow drive - it may not be able to get to the location on the property where you want it. You may have to dismantle fencing, remove trees, damage plantings etc. to bring it through your property to the location you want it at.

Lastly - ask for any garantees or repairs if it should be damaged in the process - which can easily happen during loading and unloading, especially if it is a homebuild one… I have bought 2 that were ready made and in one [the larger one 12×20] the floor
boards cracked and I ended up with a leak in the roof - but as I bought them new from the manufaturer, they took care of the damages. Sometimes it is better to buy new and pay a tad more, but have garantees, than to get one uses and have problems all around with it.
