Sell Your House in Suffolk County: We Buy Properties with Missing COs & Violations

Skip the Town of Brookhaven or Islip inspections. We buy strictly As-Is, covering the legalization costs so you don't have to.

The biggest obstacle to selling a home in Suffolk County isn’t finding a buyer; it’s getting the deal past the Town. If you own a High-Ranch or Cape with a finished basement that doesn’t have a Certificate of Occupancy (CO), or a deck built without a permit 15 years ago, a traditional bank sale will likely collapse. We operate differently. We are cash buyers who purchase the property with the violations attached, assuming the legal and financial responsibility of correcting them after closing.

Trusted Local Buyer

Selling a House in Suffolk County Shouldn't Be a Nightmare.

Most standard contracts allow buyers to walk away if the “Town Search” comes back with issues. We remove that contingency.

The "Missing CO" Deadlock

In towns like Babylon, Islip, and Brookhaven, a missing Certificate of Occupancy for a garage conversion or extension stops a mortgage dead in its tracks. We buy the house without the CO, handling the legalization paperwork ourselves after you have moved on happily.

The Cesspool & Septic Mandate

Suffolk County Health Department strictly enforces septic regulations. If your cesspool fails inspection, you must install a new I/A septic system costing over $20,000 before closing. We buy homes with failing systems and cover the upgrade costs ourselves so you don't have to.

The "Illegal" Accessory Apartment

Many Long Island homes have "Mother-Daughter" setups that were never properly permitted. Listing this on the MLS invites town scrutiny and fines. We buy occupied or vacant multi-family setups regardless of their legal status on paper, shielding you from any unexpected municipal issues.

We Handle the Headaches So You Don’t Have To Town violations, septic failures, and permit issues shouldn’t hold you back. We specialize in resolving Long Island’s toughest real estate challenges. Leave the regulatory risks to us and walk away with a fair price and peace of mind.

We Are Not Just "Investors."
We Are Your Neighbors.

"I started WeBuyPropertyNY because I saw neighbors in Syosset and Suffolk County getting stuck in 'probate purgatory' or dealing with tenant laws that felt impossible to navigate. I realized that homes buyers for cash were often faceless corporations."

I built this company to be different. I use my own capital to provide a real cash home offer. We are verified buying a house cash buyer professionals. When we shake hands, consider it done.

Problem: Facing Surrogate’s Court & Family Disputes

We Buy Houses As-Is in Suffolk County – No Matter the Situation

We provide a logistical exit strategy for specific scenarios, removing the uncertainty of the open market.

The "Inheritance" Headache

⚠️ Problem: Facing Surrogate’s Court & Family Disputes

Solution: We fast-track the process. We pay the attorney fees and buy the house "As-Is." Take the keepsakes, leave the junk. We handle cleanouts.

The "Divorce" Deadlock

⚠️ Problem: Asset tied up & disagreements on price

Solution: We act as a neutral third party. We provide a fair cash offer so you can split the equity immediately and move on separately without the drama.

The "Rental Property" Trap

⚠️ Problem: Non-paying tenants or eviction nightmare

Solution: Tired of being a landlord? We buy properties with tenants in place. We handle the leases and evictions so you can cash out today.

The "Hoarder House" Crisis

⚠️ Problem: Overwhelming clutter & embarrassment

Solution: Zero judgment. Zero cleaning. Take what you want and leave the rest behind. We handle the trash-out and deep cleaning after closing.

The "Money Pit" House

⚠️ Problem: Roof leaks, outdated, no cash for repairs

Solution: Agents say fix it. We say sell it. We love "ugly" houses. You can sell house as is today to us. Keep your savings in your pocket.

The "Move-Out" Dilemma

⚠️ Problem: Need cash now but haven't found a new home

Solution: Unlock your equity now but stay in your home! We offer Post-Possession Agreements allowing you to rent the house back until you find your new place.

The "Foreclosure" Clock

⚠️ Problem: Facing Bank Foreclosure or Auction

Solution: We can stop the auction. We buy before the bank takes it, saving your credit and putting cash equity in your pocket.

The "Fire & Water" Damage

⚠️ Problem: Insurance denied claim or too costly to fix

Solution: Don't battle contractors. We buy damaged homes 100% As-Is. Whether it's mold, flood, or fire damage, we take on the renovation risk.

The "Property Lien" Obstacle

⚠️ Problem: Mechanic's liens or Judgments blocking sale

Solution: A cloud on title scares off retail buyers. Our legal team negotiates with creditors and clears the title at closing so you walk away free.

The "Tax Auction" Threat

⚠️ Problem: Facing County Tax Auction

Solution: Time is critical. We can provide immediate liquidity to pay off the tax warrant and stop the foreclosure clock before you lose your equity.

The "Vacant Land" Burden

⚠️ Problem: Paying taxes on unused dirt

Solution: Turn your idle asset into cash. Whether it has zoning issues or requires a variance, we buy raw land and lots across Long Island.

The "Missing CO" Nightmare

⚠️ Problem: Missing COs & Illegal Conversions

Solution: In towns like Hempstead, this kills deals. We buy properties with open violations. Our legal team handles the town paperwork after closing.

The Hidden Cost of Suffolk County History

Beyond the cosmetics, Suffolk homes harbor specific liabilities that scare away retail buyers.

You could be waiting 90+ days for a closing that collapses because the buyer’s bank didn’t like the age of the roof.

Underground Oil Tanks

Many homes built before 1980 still have buried oil tanks. If these leak, the environmental cleanup cost is astronomical. We assume this liability.

Legalizing Deck & Patio Work

A simple deck built without a permit 15 years ago can stop a sale today. The Town requires updated surveys and fines. We handle the paperwork.

Aluminum Wiring & Electric Panels

Homes built in the late 60s and 70s often have insurance-flagged electrical panels (like Federal Pacific). We replace these systems post-purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How quickly can you close on my Suffolk County house?
▼

Because we purchase homes with our own funds (all cash), we can move extremely fast compared to traditional buyers relying on mortgage financing. We typically close in as little as 10 to 21 days, depending on your needs. If you need to sell your Long Island property fast—from Islip to the East End—we can accommodate your timeline.

Q: Do you buy Colonial style homes in Suffolk County?
▼

Absolutely. Colonial homes are a staple of Suffolk County’s housing stock, found everywhere from Huntington to Brookhaven. We specialize in buying Colonial properties in any condition, whether they have outdated layouts, need a roof replacement, require modernizing, or even have potential foundation issues. We see the value in these classic Long Island homes.

Q: Will I have to pay real estate agent commissions or fees to sell my house in Suffolk County?
▼

No. When you sell directly to us, you completely bypass the need for a real estate agent. This means zero commission fees, no closing costs for you, and no hidden charges. The cash offer we provide is exactly what you receive at closing, maximizing your net proceeds.

Q: Do you buy Suffolk County homes with open permits, missing COs, or building violations?
▼

Yes, dealing with the Suffolk County Department of Buildings can be complex, and we handle all of it. We frequently purchase houses with complicated title issues, expired or open permits, and even missing Certificates of Occupancy (COs) for additions or finished basements. Our team takes on the liability and expense of resolving these town or county violations after closing.

Q: What condition does my house need to be in for you to buy it?
▼

We buy houses “as-is,” regardless of condition. Whether your property in Selden needs a total renovation, your basement flooded in the last nor’easter, or it’s just worn out from years of use, we will make a fair cash offer. You don’t need to make any repairs, clean anything up, or prepare for showings.

Q: How do you determine the cash offer price for my Suffolk County property?
▼

Our local Suffolk County experts analyze several factors: the current comparable sales data in your neighborhood (e.g., Smithtown or Babylon), the cost of necessary repairs and renovations, and the speed and convenience we offer you. We provide a transparent, non-obligatory cash quote based on fair market value minus our repair costs.

Q: I inherited a property in the Hamptons—can you help with probate?
▼

We regularly work with Long Island homeowners selling inherited or estate properties. If your house is tied up in probate court or you are dealing with multiple heirs, we can simplify the process significantly. We purchase the home directly, providing immediate liquidity without the typical delays associated with estate sales.

Q: Do I need to schedule open houses or showings in communities like Farmingville or Brentwood?
▼

No open houses, no intrusive showings, and absolutely no need to list the property publicly. Our process involves one brief, confidential property visit from our acquisition specialist to confirm the details. This ensures maximum privacy and convenience for Suffolk County residents looking for a discreet sale.

The Hidden Cost of Prospect Lefferts Gardens' History

We all love the classic architecture in PLG. But for a seller, historic specs can turn into a financial trap. What looks like "Charm" to you, looks like "Risk" to a bank.

The Reality Check

Traditional buyers often demand $30,000 - $50,000 in price reductions after inspection for "old house" issues. Agents will ask you to fix them before closing.

Knob & Tube Wiring: Makes the house uninsurable. Deal killer for retail buyers.
Foundation Settling: Common in pre-war homes, but scares off bank appraisers.
LPC Restrictions: Renovations in historic zones imply months of expensive permits.

The Solution: We buy with our own cash. We take on the risk. You get a guaranteed price with NO repairs and NO deductions.

Direct Buyers vs. Wholesalers: Know Who You're Selling To

⚠️ The Risk of "Wholesalers" (and How We Are Different)

In the Long Island market, many people claiming we buy houses for cash are actually wholesalers. These are middlemen who have no intention of buying your house. Instead, they lock you into a contract and try to “assign” (sell) that contract to a real investor for a fee. If they can’t find a buyer, they cancel the deal, leaving you stranded weeks later.

The Result? They often back out or try to renegotiate at the last minute.

We Buy Property NY Guarantee

We Are the End Buyer

When we sign the Contract of Sale, we are the ones closing. No bait-and-switch.
