Can You Sell a House with Code Violations in New Ulm, MN?

We can review a New Ulm house with a city notice, repair needs, or an unsafe condition as it sits. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before asking about a sale. Tell us what you know about the property and share the notice if you have it; we can discuss the house and the sale together.

A direct sale changes who is responsible for repairs after closing, but it does not make an existing city order, court case, or seller obligation disappear before closing. The notice and its status still matter.

Read the actual notice for the listed work, any inspection or permit step, and each date. If the notice refers to a hearing, court case, or order, keep those papers with it. Ask the city office named on the notice what remains open and what must happen before the sale; if a court case is involved, get advice about that case before relying on a closing date.

A sale does not automatically cancel an existing order, court case, deadline, or obligation before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

1. Tell us the New Ulm property address, its condition, and what the notice says. You can call before you have every document in hand.
2. We discuss the house and the notice with you, then provide a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
3. If you choose to sell to us, closing is handled through a title company. The notice, any court matter, and any required step before closing still need to be accounted for.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

The City of New Ulm's Housing Office describes a home-improvement program for single-family homes that addresses building-code and health-and-safety deficiencies. For a question about a particular violation, use the contact on that notice to reach the office handling it.
