What we buy
We can review the house and code notice with you, including serious repair needs, and talk through a sale with the property as it stands.
What can affect closing
Kansas law lets a city order an unsafe or dangerous structure repaired or removed after published notice, mailed notice to the owner, lienholders, and occupants, and a hearing. The notice and hearing procedures are in K.S.A. 12-1751 and 12-1752.
If the work is not done within the time set in the notice, the city can do it and bill the owner, who has 30 days to pay. Unpaid costs can be added to the property's tax bill as a special assessment, and the city can sue the owner. In an emergency, the city can act right away and charge the costs the same way. These repair, cost, and emergency rules appear in K.S.A. 12-1753, 12-1755, 12-1756, and K.S.A. 12-1,115.
An open order, deadline, or special assessment needs to be accounted for as part of the sale. We can look at the notice with you and talk through what it means for the house. Not sure? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
