Can I sell with code violations?
Usually, yes. You can sell a Wilmington, OH house with open code violations. We buy houses as-is in Wilmington and Clinton County, so you can ask about a sale without first completing the repairs.
What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us about the notice and the condition of the house; you don't have to finish the listed work before asking about a sale.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours. We review the property and talk through the written notice and any court papers with you.
What can affect closing in Ohio?
If you've 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's in Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253.
One thing to know: if the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling doesn't automatically end that case. Keep any court papers with the written notice so we can talk through what is happening with the property.
What happens next
- Tell us the property address, what the notice says, and whether there is an existing court case.
- We talk through the house and the notice, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you decide to accept, closing is through a title company. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
