Houses we see in Warwick
I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys Warwick houses as they are, including the ones that come with these local complications.
- About 3,379 acres of Warwick sit in a FEMA special flood hazard area, and the city's plan names three sources of flooding: the Pawtuxet River, heavy rain and hurricane storm surge. If a house was raised through the city's Flood Prone Property Elevation Program, it has to carry flood insurance, and that requirement passes to every owner after you.
- Under Warwick Sewer Authority rules, a house on a sewer line can keep a working septic system until the system fails or the house sells. After a sale, the buyer has to connect within a year or pay a penalty, so when we buy the house, the tie-in is our job.
- The lower end of Warwick Neck, Cowesett and Potowomut were left out of the city's 1994 sewer expansion, so many homes there are on septic. High groundwater on Warwick Neck causes frequent septic failures, and we buy houses with failing systems as they are.
- Pontiac grew up around the Knight family's mills, the original home of Fruit of the Loom, and a 1981 state survey called it the only Warwick mill village still largely intact. Along with Pawtuxet and Apponaug, it's one of the city's three local historic districts.
- About 77% of Warwick homes were built before 1980. Selling a house built before 1978 still means the federal lead disclosure. A rental that old generally needs a state lead certificate, but Rhode Island's lead law gives a new owner time to bring the units into compliance, so the rental can be sold before it's certified.

What Warwick sellers call us about
Selling a house in Warwick: common questions
Do you buy houses in every part of Warwick?
Yes. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys in every village and neighborhood the city's comprehensive plan lists, among them Apponaug, Conimicut, Gaspee Point, Hillsgrove, Norwood and Oakland Beach. Condition doesn't rule a house out.
My Warwick house is in a flood zone. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. The city's plan names Warwick Neck, Oakland Beach, Buttonwoods, Apponaug Cove and Potowomut as the neighborhoods that would need to evacuate in a hurricane, and we buy in all of them. You don't have to repair flood damage before you sell to us.
Do I have to replace a cesspool before I sell?
No. Rhode Island's Cesspool Act gives the new owner 12 months after a sale to replace a cesspool or tie the house into sewer. In Warwick, a cesspool within 200 feet of a coastal feature, a drinking water well or another body of water has to connect to the sewer. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses with cesspools and handles that work after closing.
I inherited a house in Warwick. Can I sell it before probate is done?
Often, yes. If the will gives the executor a power of sale, the house can usually be sold without separate court permission. If it doesn't, the executor petitions the Warwick Probate Court, which meets on Thursdays at City Hall, and the court's rules ask for a certified appraisal rather than a broker's opinion, along with the signed purchase and sale agreement. I Buy Rhode Island Houses can sign that agreement now and close once the court approves the sale. How selling a house in probate works.
Does Warwick's historic district review affect selling my house?
It mostly affects repairs. In the Pawtuxet, Apponaug and Pontiac districts, exterior work, down to fences, sheds and garages, needs Historic District Commission review, which starts with the building permit. Many Post Road properties in Apponaug moved into a Village Overlay District in 2011 and no longer need it. When you sell to I Buy Rhode Island Houses as-is, you don't make those repairs, so you don't go through that review.
Who pays the closing costs when you buy my Warwick house?
I Buy Rhode Island Houses covers the closing costs, and there's no agent commission. If the house still has a sewer assessment being paid off, the buyer takes over the remaining years, and you owe only what was billed before the sale. Who pays closing costs in Rhode Island.
