What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can sell before doing repairs or clearing out the house. Tell us about the property and its code notice, and we can discuss an offer with those issues in place.
What can affect closing in Kentucky
Kentucky law lets cities and counties enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance, secure the property against entry, or demolish part or all of a structure under KRS 65.8840.
When fines, fees, or abatement costs are recorded with the county clerk, they become a lien on the property. Under KRS 65.8835, the lien can last ten years, ranks ahead of most other liens except state, county, school board, and city taxes, and leaves the owner personally responsible for the amount. A city may also add an unpaid code lien to the property-tax bill and collect it like unpaid taxes under KRS 65.8834.
An existing order, court case, deadline, or recorded lien can still affect what needs to happen before closing.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
