Conditional Sales

• A conditional sale cannot be done on a property if there is no running water or electricity

• Any conditional sale must have all violations or problems corrected within one year of the initial inspection to obtain the correct U&O certificate.

• If there is a presence of mold, mildew, or any other serious health hazard we ask that these be addressed before the inspection, otherwise a conditional sale certificate will not be given

• During the inspection if the inspector notices any reasons of an insect or rodent infestation we ask that whoever is responsible for the property call an expert to assess the situation before a conditional sale certificate is given
