We buy houses in Scituate

I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses in Scituate for cash, as-is, from North Scituate to Hope, and we can close in as little as 7 days or on your date. Nearly every property in Scituate relies on a septic system or cesspool. Most homes still draw from wells, though the town is home to Rhode Island's largest reservoir and about 84% of its land lies in that reservoir's watershed.

Selling a house in Scituate: common questions

Will an old septic system or cesspool stop me from selling my Scituate house?

Not to us. The town itself notes that substandard septic systems and cesspools can get in the way of selling, most of all in Hope Village, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses with failing systems as they are. Under state law, a cesspool has to be replaced within 12 months after a sale, which a buyer can handle after closing.

My house is in the Hope Village or North Scituate overlay district. Can I sell it as-is?

Yes. Each of those villages has an overlay commission that reviews renovations and new construction, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses in both districts as they are.

The estate is in Scituate's probate court. Can we sell the house?

Usually, yes. Scituate's probate court is held the second Wednesday of each month in the Town Council Chambers. The executor can sell under a power of sale in the will or the court's license, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses can put an offer in writing first and close once that comes through. How selling a house in probate works.
