What If My House Has Code Violations in San Antonio?

If your San Antonio house has code violations, you might think selling is impossible. But that's not true - we buy houses with code violations all the time. In fact, code violations are one of the most common reasons homeowners choose to sell to cash buyers instead of going the traditional route.

We Buy Houses With Code Violations

We buy houses with code violations in San Antonio. You don't need to fix them - we'll handle everything after purchase. We've purchased properties with electrical violations, plumbing issues, structural problems, and more. The key is that we buy houses as-is, so code violations don't prevent us from making an offer.

According to the San Antonio Development Services Department, common code violations include:

• Electrical violations: Outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, improper installations
• Plumbing violations: Leaks, improper connections, outdated fixtures
• Structural violations: Foundation issues, roof problems, unsafe additions
• Safety violations: Missing smoke detectors, improper egress, fire hazards
• Zoning violations: Unpermitted additions, improper land use

Why Traditional Sales Struggle With Code Violations

Traditional buyers and their lenders typically won't purchase properties with code violations because:

• Lenders require properties to meet certain standards
• Buyers don't want to inherit expensive repair problems
• Inspections reveal violations that kill deals
• Fixing violations can cost thousands of dollars

This is why many San Antonio homeowners with code violations turn to cash buyers like us - we can close quickly without requiring repairs.

Types of Code Violations We Accept

We've purchased San Antonio properties with various types of code violations:

• Electrical: We've bought houses with outdated knob-and-tube wiring, overloaded panels, and missing GFCI outlets
• Plumbing: We've purchased properties with leaking pipes, improper connections, and outdated fixtures
• Structural: We've bought houses with foundation cracks, roof damage, and unsafe additions
• Safety: We've purchased properties missing smoke detectors, with improper egress, and fire hazards
• Zoning: We've bought houses with unpermitted additions and improper land use

The important thing is that we factor these violations into our offer, so you don't have to spend money fixing them before selling.

How We Handle Code Violations

When you sell to us with code violations:

1. We evaluate the violations: We assess what violations exist and their cost to fix
2. We factor them into our offer: Our offer accounts for the cost of fixing violations
3. You don't fix anything: You sell as-is, and we handle repairs after purchase
4. We close quickly: Code violations don't slow down our closing process

This approach saves you time and money - you don't have to deal with contractors, permits, or inspections before selling.
