What we buy
We buy houses in Strasburg and Shenandoah County with open code notices, unsafe conditions, or repair needs. You do not have to finish repairs, clean, or clear out the house before asking us about a sale.
What can affect closing in Virginia
Virginia's statewide building code lets local code officials inspect existing buildings and order code violations corrected. If a building is declared unsafe, the official may order repairs or demolition; an imminent danger can allow emergency work. The code also addresses demolition when an owner does not follow a demolition order. See 13VAC5-63-480, 13VAC5-63-485, 13VAC5-63-490, and Virginia Code § 36-105.
Virginia law also lets a locality adopt an ordinance requiring an owner to remove, repair, or secure a building that threatens public health or safety. A locality can generally arrange the work after at least 30 days' notice; serious hazards and emergencies can have shorter timelines. The cost is charged to the owner, and an unpaid amount becomes a lien that ranks with unpaid local real-estate taxes. See Virginia Code § 15.2-906.
An open notice, order, or lien can affect what needs to be addressed before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
