Can you sell a house with code violations in Schererville, IN?
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 Schererville and Lake County houses with open violations, notices, and unsafe-building orders. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
We buy houses with open code notices, repair needs, or unsafe conditions as-is. Tell us what the notice says and what is happening with the house; we'll talk through the condition and any dates in the notice. You can call before making repairs.
What can affect closing
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Where the law applies, a recorded unsafe-building order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on. Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and -3.
If you received an order under that law and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information before agreeing to transfer or transferring your interest. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring your interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number and a copy of the transfer document. Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-26 and -27.
Bring the notice to the closing professional early so you can go over the transfer requirements and any court restrictions. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
Tell us where the house is and what the notice says. We'll talk through the house, its condition, and the dates you have.
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.
