Can you sell a house with code violations in Lafayette, IN?

We buy houses with code violations as-is

You don't fix anything — not one thing. Tell us what the city cited, what work remains, and whether there is an inspection, permit, or court deadline. We review the house in its current condition and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit.

What can affect closing in Indiana

Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Outside Indianapolis and Marion County, check with the local enforcement authority about whether the law applies to your order.

Where the law applies, if you received an order and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information about it before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring your interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, phone number, and the transfer document. A recorded order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on.

Bring the notice, inspection or permit papers, and any court communication to the closing professional early so the requirements and any court restrictions can be checked. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing still needs to be addressed.

Read the Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and -3 on where the law applies and §§ 36-7-9-26 and -27 on transfers.

What happens next

1. Tell us the address, what the notice says, and what matters most to you about timing or repairs.
2. We talk through the house and the notice. The title company and the local authority can confirm the actual transfer, title, or court requirements.
3. We give you written terms before you commit, and the closing is handled through a title company.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The offer is specific to the property and the information available for review.

Local code and permit help

The City of Lafayette's official website is the starting point for finding the city staff handling your notice. Give them the property address and notice or case number, and ask what inspection, permit, or order steps remain for that property.

Costs and questions

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate. Compare your written offer with other sale costs using the Lafayette home-sale net proceeds calculator.
