We buy the house with its violations
You can talk with us about the Richmond house as it stands, including code notices and repair needs. You do not have to finish repairs or clean out the property before asking us to review it. That gives you an as-is offer to compare with the work and cost of handling repairs before a conventional sale.
What can affect closing?
A recorded unsafe-building order stays with the property when it sells, 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 in every Indiana community. Whether it applies to a Richmond property depends on local adoption.
Where the law applies, an owner who received an order and has not complied must give the buyer full information about it before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, phone number, and the transfer document. See Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and -3 and §§ 36-7-9-26 and -27. Bring the notices to the closing professional early so they can check which requirements apply and whether a court restriction affects the sale.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase a recorded order, a court case, or an obligation you have before closing.
What happens next
Tell us the Richmond address, what the house needs, and what the notice says. We can talk through the property and the paperwork, then give you a written offer and written terms before you decide. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. If you choose to move ahead, closing is through a title company.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can share notices and court papers early so the closing professional can check applicable requirements and restrictions.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Richmond code-violation questions
Can I sell a Richmond house with an unsafe-building order?
Yes. A house with an unsafe-building order can be sold. A recorded order stays with the property, and Indiana law has additional requirements in places that have adopted the Unsafe Building Law.
Does selling remove a recorded order or court case?
No. A recorded order stays with the property, and selling does not automatically end a court case or erase an obligation you have before closing.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What should I share when we talk?
Tell us the Richmond property address and what the notice or order says. Share the notice, any later city letters, court papers, and permit paperwork you have so we can discuss the house and what needs to be checked before closing.
