What we buy with code violations
We can buy a Van Wert house with an open code notice as it stands. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the property, or arrange a cleanout to sell to us.
Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the house. The written offer and terms set out what we agree to before you commit.
What can affect closing in Ohio?
Usually, yes, you can sell. 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 you sign the sale agreement. That rule is in Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so share the notice with us before you sign.
One thing to know: if the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. Keep any court papers with the notice when we talk through the house.
What happens next?
We talk with you about the address, the house, the code notice, and any court papers or deadlines you know about. You can tell us what needs work and what is still unclear.
You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. Read the terms and compare them with the cost and time of repairs or listing before deciding.
