Code Violations Don't Stop Us

We Buy With Open Violations — Cash Means No Lender

Traditional buyers need financing. Lenders require properties to meet minimum standards. Code violations kill financed deals. Cash buyers don't have that restriction — and neither do we.

🏗️
Unpermitted Additions
Finished basement without permits, added bathroom, converted garage — we buy it as-is without requiring you to pull permits or tear out work.
⚡
Electrical & Plumbing Violations
Outdated wiring, knob-and-tube, galvanized pipes, code-failing electrical panels — these are common and we account for them in our offer.
🏛️
Zoning & Structural Citations
Open permits, zoning violations, structural citations from the city — we work with local title companies to navigate and close.
⏰
Close Before Fines Escalate
City fines compound daily in many municipalities. The faster you close, the less you pay. We move quickly to stop the clock.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy a house with open code violations?
+
Yes. Because we pay cash, there is no lender involved — which means no appraisal and no lender-required repairs. We close on properties with open code violations regularly.
Do I have to fix the violations before selling?
+
No. We buy the property exactly as-is, violations and all. We factor the cost to remediate into our offer — you pay nothing out of pocket.
What if the city has placed a lien on the property?
+
Liens are resolved at closing through the title company. In many cases we can still close — we work with experienced local title companies who handle this routinely.
How fast can you close with code violations?
+
Typically 7–21 days once you accept our offer. The title search needs to clear, but cash means no lender delays.
Will code violations significantly lower your offer?
+
We factor remediation costs into our offer upfront and tell you exactly how we arrived at the number. No hidden deductions at closing.
