Can you sell a house with code violations?
Yes. You can sell a house with open code violations or unpermitted work as-is to a cash buyer who will take over the corrections. Southern Home Offers buys houses with code issues in the Chattanooga area; any recorded fines or liens are paid from the sale at closing.
Why this kind of house is hard to sell the usual way
Open code cases, unpermitted additions and condemnation notices scare off lenders and retail buyers, and fines can keep growing while the case is open.
Correcting violations means permits, licensed contractors and re-inspections on the code office's schedule.
How we buy it
- We review the violation notice with you and price the corrections.
- Recorded fines or liens are paid off through the title company at closing.
- We deal with the code office after closing.
