What we buy with the violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes a Newport City or Orleans County house with a code notice or repairs still needed.
What can affect closing in Vermont?
In Vermont municipalities that have adopted the housing rules, if a house has been declared unfit and unsafe conditions remain, the owner must give the buyer a true copy of the order and notify the enforcing officer in writing of the intended sale. A buyer who receives notice remains bound by the order. The municipality can also order the house vacated or start demolition proceedings. See 24 V.S.A. § 5003(c)(11)–(12).
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
