What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us about an open notice, unfinished work, or the condition of the house; you do not need to complete repairs before asking us to consider it.
You can discuss the property without first hiring contractors or clearing it out. An as-is sale does not automatically remove an existing code order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
What can affect closing in Kentucky
Kentucky law lets cities and counties enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may also address a nuisance by clearing the property, securing it against entry, or demolishing part or all of a structure. Read the notice for the work required and any deadlines or court dates.
If code fines, fees, or nuisance-abatement costs are recorded with the county clerk, they become a lien on the property. That lien takes priority over most other liens, except state, county, school board, and city taxes. It can last ten years, and the owner remains personally responsible for the amount.
Cities may add unpaid code liens to the property tax bill and collect them like unpaid taxes. Ask the city or county named on your notice about open violations and recorded liens before closing. A lien or order may affect the title work and what needs to be addressed. A sale does not automatically clear an existing order, court case, or deadline.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing still needs to be addressed.
Kentucky law: KRS 65.8835, code enforcement liens; KRS 65.8840, nuisance abatement; and KRS 65.8834, unpaid code liens on property tax bills.
