Sell a House With Code Violations or Liens
L&I violations in Philadelphia, township citations in South Jersey, water liens, tax liens — they don't stop a sale to us. We buy properties with open violations and settle the liens at closing out of the proceeds.

Sound familiar?
- •Violation fines keep accruing every month
- •The township won't issue a CO without repairs you can't afford
- •Liens have piled up beyond what you can pay off
- •You're worried the property will be condemned or seized
How we help
Our title team pulls every lien and violation, negotiates payoffs where possible, and structures the closing so everything is settled from the sale price. You walk away clean.
And because we're not just cash buyers, you'll see every path — cash, novation, terms, or a full listing with a guaranteed backup offer — side by side before you decide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the liens are more than the house is worth?
Sometimes municipalities and lienholders negotiate. We've closed deals where lien settlements made a sale possible that the owner thought was hopeless. Worst case, we'll tell you honestly.
Do I need a Certificate of Occupancy to sell?
Selling as-is to an investor typically doesn't require the CO repairs a retail sale would — that responsibility transfers to us.
