I'm wanting to buy this property with a pole barn on it.
Problem is it was built too close to the property line and violates county setbacks. It's about 6 feet from the line and should be 25 ft.
Barn is 24x36 and pretty high with two horse stalls (each with exit outside), and two car like openings (no doors)
It has a dirt floor and the poles are set in concrete I am told.
Wood sidings.
Steel skeleton.
Probably a steel roof, sorry can't recall at moment.
Is it possible to move something like this about 20 feet?
I'm worried that once I buy the property, the appraiser or someone will come out and want us to abide by county setback rules. So I'd have to tear it down or move it.
It's a nice barn, just a few years old. Would hate to tear it down.
How much should I reduce purchase offer by so I can, A) tear it down and rebuilt a cheaper building big enough for my mower and class-D RV van, or B) move it, or C) have someone disassemble it and rebuilt it?
If I buy the property, I won't actually do anything to the barn unless the county ordered me to. But I'd need the purchase offer discount to pay for that project in case I am forced to.
help!!! thanks
The property and house are beautiful and the asking price already great, so I doubt they'd come down enough to pay for a demolition and then complete reconstruction of a really, really, really nice barn replacement. So I need realistic and moderate price reduction figures as well as the right course of action to take.
