“The Cash Offer Company”
🧾 Can I Sell a House With a Lien in Virginia?
Yes, you can sell a house with a lien on it in Virginia—but it’s not always easy.
Liens create a legal claim against your property that must be cleared or addressed before the title can transfer.
This makes traditional buyers—and banks—back off.
But at The Cash Offer Company, we buy houses with liens, judgments, tax issues, and more all the time.
We handle the paperwork, work with the lienholder, and help you walk away free and clear.
🏛️ What Is a Lien?
A lien is a legal claim against your home that gives someone the right to collect money when the property is sold.
Common liens in Virginia include:
- Mortgage liens (from lenders)
- Mechanic’s liens (from unpaid contractors)
- HOA liens (from missed dues)
- Judgment liens (from lawsuits or unpaid debts)
- Tax liens (from the IRS or local government)
- Child support liens
Until the lien is released or satisfied, the title isn’t clean—which can block a sale.
🧯 How We Handle Liens (So You Don’t Have To)
When you work with us, here’s what we do:
- Pull a full title report
- Identify all liens on the property
- Negotiate with lienholders (if needed)
- Include lien payoffs at closing
- You walk away with cash—no legal stress
You don’t need to pay anything out of pocket—we’ll roll the lien into our offer and settle it when we buy the house.
⚠️ What Happens If I Ignore the Lien?
Liens don’t just go away. If left unresolved, they can lead to:
- Foreclosure (especially with tax or mortgage liens)
- Damaged credit
- Inability to refinance or sell later
- Collection lawsuits
Selling to a cash buyer like us can stop things from getting worse—fast.
