House needs major repairs or code violations in Springfield
From deferred maintenance to an open code enforcement case, we buy the property in the condition it's in today.
A house that needs real work, a new roof, foundation repair, outdated systems, or an open code violation with the city, is often the hardest kind of property to sell on the open market. Buyers using traditional financing frequently can't get a loan on a house in that condition. We can.
What we can work with
- Deferred maintenance of any size, cosmetic to structural
- Open code enforcement cases with the city
- A health-department order affecting the property, including a lead hazard order
- Fire, water, or storm damage
Lead hazard orders are one of the health-department orders we see most often in Springfield. See our full guide to selling with a lead hazard order for what that process specifically involves.
You don't need to bring the property into compliance before we can make an offer. Tell us what's outstanding and we'll factor it in honestly.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to fix code violations before selling?
- No. We buy properties with open code enforcement cases as-is. Resolving the violation becomes our responsibility after closing, not yours.
- What if there's a health department order on the property?
- Tell us about it upfront. Orders like an Ohio Department of Health vacate order change the picture significantly. See our dedicated page on selling with a lead hazard order for more detail.
- How major is too major?
- No property is too rough for us to at least look at. Foundation issues, fire damage, and full gut jobs are all things we've dealt with.
