No Permits - Buyer Will Be Responsible if Sold As-Is?

[Erin Murphy]

Good morning all,

Looking for a little advice since I haven’t sold a home in this condition before.

My seller had work done without permits years ago… basement with bathroom, whole kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Now that she’s looking to sell, it is my understanding that she will either have to revise the issues herself, or sell the home as-is.

If she sells as-is and discloses the issues, the buyers will then have to assume the responsibilities such as paying the possible fines, getting the work up to code, etc., correct?

Thank you in advance!
