Historic Homes and Buildings in MD, VA, and DC

The sale of historic properties requires specialty knowledge and handling due to the preservation requirements placed on the new owners. Owners are expected to maintain the historical significance of the property and must receive approval through special permits before making any improvements. We’ve found in many cases there are strict rehabilitation guidelines, which may allow the homeowner to repair, but not rebuild or replace existing or previously-existing parts of the property.

Restrictions often apply to:

• Additions
• Windows
• Shutters
• Roofs
• Paint colors

Particularly old properties may lack modern amenities that make historic properties livable. In fact, features such as bathrooms, electricity, and modern heat and air-conditioning systems all may not be included. Depending upon the property, local ordinances may allow for modernization of these items, or not, forcing the owners to keep the property as much to the original structure as possible. These are the kind of things Coakley Realty always researches for our clients.

Financial Benefits of a Historic Home

Alternatively, there are often financial benefits offered for purchasing and maintaining a historic home. There are often tax credits or low-interest loans offered for preserving and restoring historic buildings. We obtain this and all other pertinent information for our clients, which is why it’s important to work with real estate services; Coakley Realty is experienced in historical properties so you can rest assured that you’ll get the best results.
