Can you sell a house with code violations in Bedford, IN?
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Yes, you can sell a house with code violations. We buy houses as-is in Bedford and throughout Lawrence County, Indiana, so you do not have to repair or clean out the property to sell to us. An unsafe-building order may still affect what happens before closing or remain with the property after the sale.

What we buy
Sell the house with its violations
We buy houses as-is in Bedford and Lawrence County, including houses with code notices, repair needs, or unsafe conditions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us what the notice says and what work is still open; we can discuss the property without asking you to finish the repairs first.
What can affect closing
An unsafe-building order can stay with the property
You can sell a house with an unsafe-building order, but a recorded order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on. Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Bedford's adoption of the law is not established here, so check the property's actual jurisdiction and notice.
Where the law applies, if you received an order and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. Bring the notice to the closing professional early so the requirements and any court restrictions can be checked.
Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and 36-7-9-3: where the law applies ↗ · Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-26 and 36-7-9-27: order and transfer requirements ↗
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or deadline does not automatically disappear before closing, so confirm what still applies to your property.
Local help
