Will you buy my Columbus house with open code violations?

Yes. We purchase houses with open Columbus code violations, city notices, or Franklin County administrative orders as-is. We resolve violations and liens at or after closing — you don't need to fix anything. Call 888-274-5006.

What kinds of code violations are common in Columbus OH homes?

Common Columbus violations in older housing stock include: structural issues (failing foundations, rotted sills), roof and exterior violations, overgrown vegetation, derelict outbuildings, plumbing and electrical deficiencies, and interior habitability issues. The reviewed packet did not verify neighborhood housing-stock percentages for Columbus; code issues should be assessed from the actual notice, property condition, and title/lien review. We've bought properties with all of these issues.

Can I still sell if Columbus has issued a demolition order?

Call us immediately at 888-274-5006. We can move quickly — and in some cases a fast sale is the best way to stop a demolition order from being executed. Time matters in these situations.

What happens to code violation liens at closing?

Code violation fines and municipal liens attach to the property in Ohio. At closing, the title company identifies all liens and they are paid from proceeds before you receive your net amount. We account for known violations in our offer. No surprises — we price the offer with the situation in mind.

Do you need to inspect the interior if the property has violations?

We can often make an offer based on exterior inspection, photos, and city violation records. If an interior walkthrough is needed, we coordinate it at your convenience and with respect for any tenant or occupant. We do not require multiple showings or lengthy inspection periods.

Code Violations in Columbus OH — Why They're So Common

The reviewed packet did not independently verify neighborhood-by-neighborhood housing-stock percentages for Columbus. Many sellers still face practical issues such as structural repairs, roof and exterior notices, plumbing/electrical concerns, cleanout, access, tenants, and title or lien questions. Code items can make a direct as-is offer worth comparing before spending money on repairs.

The City of Columbus's Building Department enforces housing standards including structural integrity, exterior maintenance, plumbing and electrical minimums, and habitability requirements. Fines for unresolved violations accrue and can become liens on the property. In some cases, repeat violations lead to administrative hearings and demolition orders.

We buy all of it. Code violations are priced into our offer — you don't pay to fix anything. Liens are resolved at closing from proceeds. You walk away clean.
