Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a condemned house in TX?
Yes. A condemned designation means the property cannot be occupied, but it can still be sold. The condemnation transfers to the new owner, who then decides whether to rehabilitate or demolish.
What makes a house condemned in Lubbock?
Properties are condemned when they violate building codes to the point of being unsafe for occupancy. Common reasons include structural failure, fire damage, extensive water damage, mold, or lack of essential utilities.
Do I still have to pay taxes on a condemned property?
Yes. Property taxes continue to accrue on condemned properties regardless of their condition or occupancy status. Selling eliminates this ongoing cost.
Will the city demolish my condemned house if I do not sell?
Many municipalities will eventually demolish condemned properties and charge the owner for demolition costs. Selling to EasyOffer removes that risk and liability from you entirely.
How do you value a condemned property in Lubbock?
Our offer is based primarily on the land value, location, and zoning in Lubbock. If the structure has rehabilitation potential, that factors in as well. You receive a transparent valuation breakdown.
Can I sell a condemned property if there are liens against it?
Yes. Liens including tax liens, code violation liens, and municipal liens are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company resolves all encumbrances.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
