We buy Toledo houses with code violations
You can sell the house with open violations without taking on the repairs first. When USA Home Buyers is the buyer, the repairs become our job, not yours. We buy as-is in Toledo and across Lucas County, including houses with failed repairs or deferred maintenance.
What can affect closing
If you received a written notice of building or housing code violations, Ohio law requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before signing the sale agreement. That applies when we are the buyer, too. The rule is in Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253.
If the city has already taken the violations to court, selling the house does not automatically end that case. Tell us about any notice or court papers when we talk through the property.
What happens next
Tell us the Toledo property address and what notice you received. We can talk through the house, the violations, and your timing.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get the written offer and written terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, the closing is handled through a title company.
