Why Nickel City Buyers
WHY LOCKPORT HOMEOWNERS
CHOOSE NCB

Lockport is the City of Locks — home to the Erie Canal’s famous flight of five locks and the Niagara County seat. The Niagara County Surrogate’s Court at 175 Hawley Street is where all Lockport estate property sales are authorized. NCB has worked with the Lockport courthouse and Niagara County estate attorneys on many occasions. If you’ve inherited a Lockport property — a canal-district home, a Victorian on a tree-lined street, or a rural-edge parcel — NCB makes a cash offer and handles everything.

INHERITED PROPERTY IN LOCKPORT — FAQ
Where does Lockport probate go through?
Lockport estate property sales are authorized through Niagara County Surrogate’s Court at 175 Hawley Street, Lockport NY 14094, phone (716) 439-7130. Hours: Monday–Friday 9AM–5PM. This is the same courthouse where the Niagara County Sheriff Sale is held for foreclosure cases. NCB has worked with this court on estate property purchases many times and is familiar with the Lockport-specific procedures.
Can NCB buy my inherited Lockport property while Niagara County probate is still open?
Yes. NCB executes a purchase agreement contingent on Niagara County Surrogate’s Court granting authority to sell, then closes within 7–14 days of that authorization. We work with your Niagara County estate attorney throughout the process. The only document needed to proceed to closing is the court-issued authority — Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. Call (716) 557-7005.
The inherited Lockport home is a 100-year-old Victorian with original everything — does NCB buy it?
Absolutely. Lockport has beautiful older housing stock — Victorians, colonials, and early 20th century homes with original woodwork, plaster walls, and period details. NCB appreciates and purchases these properties. Original systems, deferred maintenance, needed updates — none of it prevents us from making an offer. We buy as-is and have experienced contractors who restore these homes properly.
Do I have to clean out the inherited Lockport property before selling?
Never. Take what has personal value and leave everything else. NCB handles the complete post-closing cleanout at no charge — furniture, belongings, tools, seasonal items, anything left behind. Lockport estate properties often have full interiors from families who lived there for decades.
The Lockport estate property has a reverse mortgage — is that a problem?
Not a problem. A reverse mortgage is a lien that is paid from the purchase proceeds at closing — like any other mortgage. NCB’s title company coordinates the reverse mortgage payoff with the servicer. As long as the property’s as-is value is within range of the reverse mortgage balance and other liens combined, the sale works. Call (716) 557-7005 to walk through the specific numbers.
We’re out-of-state heirs dealing with a Lockport inherited property — can NCB handle this fully remotely?
Yes — 100% remotely. Virtual walkthrough, electronic document signing, wire transfer of proceeds to the estate account. We’ve handled Lockport and Niagara County estate sales for heirs living in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and across the country. You never have to travel to Lockport or Buffalo. See our out-of-state executor guide.
