Selling Your Bensalem House When You Are Relocating

Bensalem is a sprawling Lower Bucks township of mid-century houses and townhouses off Street Road and I-95, and relocation sales are one of the reasons homes come up for sale there. A new job in another state does not wait for a listing to sit through showings.

Modest Pennsylvania colonial prepared for an upcoming move

Kaizen Home Buyers offers cash within 24 hours of hearing about the property and buys it as-is, so there is no repair crew to book and no agent commission on our side. You name the closing date, commonly 14 to 30 days after you accept. If you have months to spare, an agent listing might bring a higher price.

What’s different in Bensalem

Ask Building and Planning about the resale permit

Bensalem Township's Building and Planning Department, at 2400 Byberry Road, lists a Use & Occupancy Residential Resale application, with the fee collected when you submit it. The page we reviewed does not say how far ahead of settlement to apply. Call 215-633-3644 early and ask what inspection applies to your address and how long it takes, so it does not hold up your move. Hours and fees can change, so ask when you call.

House or townhouse: know which you are selling

Bensalem's housing mix includes detached mid-century homes and townhouses. If yours is a townhouse, gather any association documents you have. Kaizen looks at the actual property type and condition rather than assuming one pattern for the whole township.

Look at flood status before you set a price

The township lies between the Delaware River, Neshaminy Creek and Poquessing Creek, and some Bensalem homes sit in mapped floodplain. Ask the township or your insurer about your parcel instead of guessing. If a past water problem exists, tell us during the walkthrough so the offer reflects it. Use the parcel address, not the neighborhood name, when you ask.

Checklist before you sell

  • Fix two dates: the day you must be gone and the day you want to close.
  • Ask your lender for a payoff figure and keep the latest statement.
  • Call Bensalem Building and Planning at 215-633-3644 about the resale use and occupancy application.
  • Gather the deed and the latest Bucks County and township tax bills.
  • If the house is a townhouse, collect any association documents.
  • Write down known repairs, any water problems and the age of the heater and roof.
  • Arrange who holds the keys and who will let us in for a walkthrough.

How Kaizen can help

Call 267-329-0084 or fill out the form with the Bensalem address, the type of home and the day you need to be out. We view the property and come back with a cash offer inside 24 hours.

Your closing date is yours to choose within the 14 to 30 day range, or on a later date if your move needs it. Expect a price below an updated sale, because the repairs and the risk shift to us. Decline it if something else suits you better.

Relocating in Bensalem: questions

How fast can I sell a Bensalem house when I have to relocate?

Kaizen can close in 14 to 30 days or on a date you choose, once title and payoff paperwork are in order. Township paperwork such as a resale permit should be started early. Give us your target date when you call.

Does Kaizen buy Bensalem townhouses?

Yes, we look at townhouses as well as detached homes, and we review the actual property rather than an area average. Share any association documents you have. The offer is made as-is, with no repairs required.

Do I need to fix a dated split-level before I leave?

No. Kaizen buys as-is, so you do not need to update the kitchen, baths or mechanicals first. The offer reflects the work the house needs. Compare it with what an agent thinks updates would cost and return. Bring what you know about the roof, heater and windows to the walkthrough.

Who pays the transfer tax on a Bensalem sale?

Pennsylvania's state realty transfer tax starts at 1 percent and a local tax can add to it. The state treats both sides as liable, and the sales contract says who pays. Your settlement statement shows the exact amount. Ask your settlement office to run the number before you commit.
