What we buy
You can sell without fixing the house up first
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes houses with repair needs and code notices. You can compare an as-is offer with the cost and time of repairs before deciding what works for you.
What can affect closing
Notices, unsafe-building orders, and deadlines still count
Virginia's building code lets a local building official inspect existing buildings and order code violations corrected. If a building is declared unsafe, the official can order repairs or demolition; imminent danger can allow emergency repairs. Virginia Code § 15.2-906 also lets a locality adopt an ordinance requiring an owner to remove, repair, or secure a building that endangers public health or safety.
Under the local-ordinance route in Virginia Code § 15.2-906, the locality can generally do the work after at least 30 days' notice. Serious hazards and emergencies can have shorter timelines. The cost is charged to the owner and, if unpaid, becomes a lien that ranks with unpaid local real estate taxes.
Open orders, deadlines, and liens may still need attention before closing. We'll talk through the notice with you and what it means for the sale. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
