What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us about the code notice and the condition of the house without first completing the listed work.
What can affect closing in Virginia?
Virginia’s statewide building code lets localities inspect existing buildings and order violations corrected. If a building is declared unsafe, the code official can order repairs or demolition. Imminent danger can allow emergency repairs, and the locality can demolish a building if an owner ignores a demolition order. See Virginia Code § 36-105 and the state code provisions for correction orders, emergency work, and unsafe structures.
Virginia law also lets a locality adopt an ordinance requiring an owner to remove, repair, or secure a building that endangers public health or safety. In usual cases, the locality can 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 can become a lien with the priority of unpaid local real-estate taxes. See Virginia Code § 15.2-906.
An as-is agreement does not erase an existing order, lien, or deadline. Send us the notices so we can discuss the work and timing with you. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
- Tell us the property address, its condition, what the notice says, and any deadline or court papers involved.
- We talk through the house and notice with you, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you decide to proceed, closing is through a title company. The actual notices, orders, liens, and deadlines still need to be addressed for the property.

Questions About Selling a Lynchburg House With Code Violations
Can I sell a Lynchburg house with open code violations?
A sale may be possible, but the property’s notices and orders matter. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Lynchburg, Virginia, and we review the notices and deadlines with you. A sale does not automatically erase an existing order or lien.
Do I have to make the repairs before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Existing orders and deadlines still need to be reviewed as part of the sale.
Can an unsafe-building order or lien affect closing?
Yes. Virginia localities can order corrections, and qualifying repair costs may become a lien if unpaid. The actual notice, order, deadline, and any lien need to be reviewed for the property; an as-is sale does not erase them.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We talk about the house and its notices. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys.
