What we buy
We can review a Wilkes-Barre house with an open code notice and repair work still needed. You do not have to finish the work, clean the house, or clear it out before asking us about a sale.
Tell us about the house and what the city notice says. We can discuss the as-is sale and give you written terms to compare before you decide.
What can affect closing
Pennsylvania’s Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act (68 P.S. §§ 1081–1083) allows a sale to proceed with code violations still open. If a municipality requires an inspection before a sale, it must issue a certificate that allows the sale to close, and the buyer has 12 months to correct the violations. A property already under a court order or in a blight action is an exception and can follow a different path.
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. An existing order, court case, blight action, or deadline is not erased before closing, so tell us what the notice or papers say.
