What we buy
We buy Beckley and Raleigh County houses with open violation notices, repair orders, and serious repair needs. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before selling to us.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
An as-is sale does not make an existing notice, order, court case, deadline, or lien disappear. We can talk through what the paperwork says before you decide whether an offer works for you.
What can affect closing in West Virginia
West Virginia law lets cities adopt ordinances that require owners to repair, close, remove, or demolish unsafe, unsanitary, or dangerous buildings. In a city case, the code enforcement agency gives written notice; the city can then do the work and file a lien for its costs. A lien is a claim against the property. A municipal court may also put a building into receivership, appointing someone to take charge of it. Read the notice for the work and dates that apply to your house. See W. Va. Code § 8-12-16.
County commissions have similar authority. After notice and a chance for a hearing, a commission can order repairs or demolition, impose daily penalties, arrange the work, and seek a lien for its costs. An as-is agreement does not cancel a notice, court order, deadline, or lien. See W. Va. Code § 7-1-3ff.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.

Close through a title company

Which office issued your notice?
Beckley's city boundary has an unusual shape with unincorporated pockets. The City-hosted Beckley 2045 plan is marked draft and describes those boundary details, but it does not establish which office has authority over a particular address. Start with the agency named on your notice and ask about that property's requirements. Read the draft Beckley 2045 plan boundary discussion.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
