We buy the house with its violations
We can buy a house with a code notice or serious disrepair as-is. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear out the property before selling to us. Tell us what the notice says and what condition the house is in.
The notice still matters. An unsafe-building order can remain in force after a sale, so share it with us and the closing attorney while the transfer is being reviewed.
What can affect closing in Vermont?
Vermont law provides a specific process where a municipality has adopted these housing rules and a house has been declared unfit. Unless the unsafe conditions have been corrected, the owner must give the buyer a true copy of the unsafe-building order and notify the enforcing officer in writing of the intended sale. A buyer who receives notice remains bound by the order. The municipality may also order the house vacated or start demolition proceedings.
The rule is in 24 V.S.A. § 5003(c)(11)–(12). Keep the order and any related notices together for the closing attorney so the transfer requirements can be addressed.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
