What happens to fines and liens
Some unpaid code fines can become liens against the property. The title company searches for recorded liens and, at closing, they are typically paid from the sale proceeds or negotiated with the city. Call your city's code enforcement office to ask what is open on your address.
Unpermitted basement apartments
Basement apartments are common along the Wasatch Front, and rules differ city by city. Some cities have programs to register or permit accessory dwelling units. If yours was never permitted, tell us; we look at the house as it actually is.
How it works
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form. We will ask a few questions about the property, your timeline and what you need.
Get a written cash offer
We walk the house, run the numbers, explain them, and give you a written offer. No fee and no obligation.
Close when you are ready
Pick the closing date. A licensed title company handles the closing, and you can leave behind anything you do not want.
We buy across Utah
Common questions
Do I have to fix violations before selling?
Not to sell to us. Some cities require that the buyer be told about open cases, so share any notices you have.
Can you buy a condemned house?
Often, yes. We will need to understand what the city requires.
Will open fines come out of my proceeds?
Recorded liens are usually paid at closing. We can talk through your numbers before you sign.
