What we buy
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 repairs it lists. You do not have to start the work or clean out the house before talking with us.
What can affect closing
Kentucky lets cities and counties enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance property, secure it against entry, or demolish some or all of a structure under KRS 65.8840. If fines, fees, or abatement costs are recorded with the county clerk, they become a lien on the property. Under KRS 65.8835, the lien can last ten years, and you remain personally responsible for the amount. It ranks ahead of most other liens except state, county, school-board, and city taxes. A city may add an unpaid code lien to the property-tax bill and collect it like unpaid taxes under KRS 65.8834.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
