What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what the notice says and what repairs it lists. You do not have to start the work or clean out the house before asking about a sale.
What can affect closing in Indiana?
Yes, an Indiana house with an unsafe-building order can be sold. If an order has been recorded, it stays with the property when it transfers, so the buyer takes it on.
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. It does not automatically apply everywhere in Indiana. If the law applies to your order and you have not complied, you must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer the property or transferring your interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number and the transfer document. Confirm whether the law applies to the jurisdiction named on your notice.
Bring the notice and any court papers to the closing professional early so the applicable requirements and any court restrictions can be checked. A recorded order, court case, or responsibility before closing does not automatically disappear when the property sells.
The law's applicability rules are in Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and 36-7-9-3. The transfer requirements are in §§ 36-7-9-26 and 36-7-9-27.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or seller responsibility before closing still needs to be addressed.
