What is different about selling a house in New London
New London is a compact, older port city at the mouth of the Thames River, with closely built older neighborhoods. Shoreline areas fall under coastal rules, and the city's blight ordinance carries daily fines that can become liens on a property.
- Revaluation schedule
- Blight ordinance and liens
- Coastal area town
New London's last revaluation took effect October 1, 2023, and the next is scheduled for October 1, 2028.
OPM revaluation schedule 2023-2037New London's blight ordinance (Code Chapter 13, Article III) allows a civil penalty of $100 per day per property if blight is not fixed within five days of notice. Unpaid fines become a lien on the property that can be foreclosed like a tax lien.
City of New London Code of Ordinances, BlightNew London is one of the 36 towns in Connecticut's coastal area under the Coastal Management Act. Property inside the coastal boundary, which follows the FEMA 100-year coastal flood zone or 1,000 feet from shore, needs coastal site plan review for many changes.
CT General Statutes Sec. 22a-94What New London houses usually need
- Lead paint
- Old wiring and plumbing
- Heating systems
- Exterior upkeep on closely built lots
With nearly half of homes built before 1940, lead paint is likely, especially in rentals. We buy without asking you to abate it.
Old wiring, old pipes and dated electrical panels are common in pre-1940 houses. We price the work in.
Gas heats 55% of homes here and oil 41%. Old boilers in multi-families are a frequent item.
Older neighborhoods are tightly built, and porches, siding and roofs take a beating near the water.
Blight fines and coastal rules in New London
New London's blight ordinance allows a civil penalty of $100 per day per property if blight is not fixed within five days of notice. Unpaid fines become a lien that can be foreclosed like a tax lien. If you have a notice on a house you cannot fix, selling can stop the daily fines.
Shoreline areas such as Ocean Beach and Pequot Avenue fall under the Coastal Management Act. Inside the coastal boundary, many changes need coastal site plan review, which can slow a buyer who plans to renovate.
The city revalued in 2023, and the next revaluation is October 1, 2028.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in New London?
A typical New London tax bill is about $5,880 a year at 27.1 mills. Once it is late, Connecticut adds 1.5% a month, or 18% a year, and the city can lien the property. Add a blight lien at $100 a day, and the payoff can grow quickly.
Mortgage defaults here go through the Superior Court. Connecticut mostly uses strict foreclosure, where the court sets a Law Day and the lender can take title after it. A sale before then lets us pay off the loan, the taxes and the liens at closing.

Read the guide →Is a cash sale right for you, or should you list?
Seven quick questions. There is no wrong answer, and we will tell you honestly if listing would leave you more.
- Does the house need repairs you would rather not pay for or manage?
- Do you need to close by a certain date, or within the next month or two?
- Would showings be hard: tenants, belongings, privacy, or you live out of state?
- Is there a complication: an estate or probate, a divorce, foreclosure, liens or back taxes?
- Could you comfortably cover the mortgage, taxes and utilities for three or more months?
- Is getting the highest possible price more important to you than speed and certainty?
- Would a buyer's bank lend on the house as it is (no major roof, foundation, oil tank or code issues)?
