You won't even have to worry about cleaning up! If you have unwanted possessions, you can leave them at the house, and we'll take care of them. Selling your house “as is” to us is a breeze.  

Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs) complications in the Tampa Bay area 

Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs) in the Tampa Bay area are no problem for We Buy Ugly Houses^®.  

If your Tampa, St. Pete, or Sarasota property faces significant issues like a cracked foundation or water damage, or if it doesn't meet the MPRs, selling your house “as is” on the traditional market becomes nearly impossible.  

MPRs represent a set of standards used by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other lending institutions to determine the livability and loan viability of houses. They encompass space and construction requirements, drainage, accessibility, water supply, and more. You can check the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development website to see if your Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Sarasota house meets the MPRs. 

If your Tampa Bay area house falls short of meeting these requirements, potential buyers can’t secure loans to purchase it. Luckily, you have another option—selling your house “as is” to us. Yes, you can sell your fixer-upper with We Buy Ugly Houses without having to make any repairs at all!  

Why consider selling your house “as is” in Tampa Bay? 

Have you or previous owners in Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Sarasota conducted work on the house without obtaining proper permits? Any unpermitted work must be disclosed to your buyer—it's the law. You may find yourself needing to have any unpermitted work demolished and redone with permits, and the new work will then be subject to inspections. Many people in the Tampa Bay area simply cannot afford to go through this process, or they don't want to. Fortunately, We Buy Ugly Houses can buy your Tampa Bay area house, even if it has had unpermitted work done, without requiring you to redo the work.  

Some people in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota prefer to sell a house “as is” just to avoid all the hassles associated with selling the traditional way. Not having to deal with all the work required to get a house market-ready is a relief and a significant time-saver.
