What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can share what the notice lists and what repairs the house needs; you do not have to start the work or clean out the property before asking about a sale.
What can affect closing
Usually, code violations alone do not stop a covered sale in Pennsylvania. Under the Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act (68 P.S. §§1081–1083), if the municipality requires a certificate for the sale, it has to issue a certificate so the sale can close, and the buyer gets 12 months to fix the violations. A property already under a court order or in a blight action is an exception. Read Pennsylvania's Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act, §§ 2, 2.1 and 3.
If the municipality requires an inspection before a sale, the certificate depends on the violations. A temporary access certificate lets the buyer enter to make repairs; it does not let a new occupant move in.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
