Yes, you can sell a house with a non-compliant septic tank in Scranton, but your buyer pool will be extremely restricted.

Why? Because most mortgage companies won’t lend on a property with a non-compliant septic tank.

Hazard insurance companies also aren’t typically interested in writing a policy on a home with a non-compliant septic system.

You’ll need to find a buyer who can pay cash for your house. We can pay cash to purchase your house!

Yes, you can sell a house without a septic system in Scranton, but unless it’s connected to a municipal sewer system, you’re legally not allowed to occupy a residence without operating sewer access or a septic system.

All residences must have a government-issued certificate permitting occupancy of the property.

Lenders also won’t write a mortgage for a property that’s intended for a residence unless it’s connected to a municipal sewer or has a compliant septic system that operates.

We will buy your house even if currently it doesn’t have a septic system!

You can sell a house with a bad septic system in Scranton in several different ways.

The Fast Way:

1. Contact us for a free, no-obligation offer.
2. We’ll come to your house, and then make an offer on your property.
3. If you accept, we’ll open escrow and in an average of 3-30 days, we’ll close.
4. You’ll receive your cash, and we’ll even pay your closing costs.

The Slow Way:

1. Locate a real estate agent who is interested in listing a house with septic issues. This might be difficult since Pennsylvania also requires agents to sign off on a property disclosure listing problems with the residence.
2. Sign a listing agreement and complete the state-mandated property disclosure.
3. Market your house to the public and wait for an offer. You may wait a long time before you have an offer from a buyer who will accept a house with a bad septic system in Scranton, a very long time.
4. Sign a sales contract and allow your buyer to conduct inspections on your house. Buyers have 10 days from the contract signing to conduct their inspections.
5. Renegotiate your sales price after the buyer reads the home inspections and wants to open sales price talks based on new issues discovered by the inspectors.
6. Wait for your buyer to locate a lender and hazard insurance company that will write policies on a house with a bad septic system. This could take a very long time.
7. Close escrow and pay the agent commissions, closing costs and transfer fees from your proceeds of the sale.
