Rochester, NH · Strafford County
Can you sell a Rochester house with code violations?
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Yes. We buy Rochester and Strafford County houses with code violations, repair notices, or unsafe conditions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
We buy Rochester houses with open code notices, repair orders, or unsafe conditions. You do not have to repair or clean out the house before selling to us. Tell us what is happening with the house and the notice, and we'll talk it through with you.
What can affect closing
New Hampshire's hazardous-building law lets a city council or town selectmen order a hazardous building repaired or removed under RSA 155-B. The proceeding is recorded with the Strafford County Registry of Deeds. If a court judgment is not followed, municipal work can become a property lien collected like a tax lien.
Municipal housing ordinances under RSA 48-A can also lead to repair or demolition orders and liens for costs or unpaid fines. An existing order, court case, deadline, or lien can affect the sale. We can go through the notice with you.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

- Review the written offer. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Questions about selling with code violations
Does selling a house as-is erase a code order or lien?
No. An existing repair order, court case, deadline, lien, or unpaid fine can still affect the sale. We can go through the notice with you.
What our sellers say
“The house in Allentown was sitting empty for 2 years after my dad passed. getting code violations from the city. sold it to them for cash, no cleanup needed.”
“The house had some foundation issues and hadn't been updated since the 80s. I got quotes from contractors and the repair costs were going to eat everything I'd make listing it. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. I'm glad I called.”
