We buy houses in Chester
Built for how Chester homes really sell.
Chester is the oldest city in Pennsylvania, founded in 1682, and much of its housing reflects that long history - brick rowhomes and twins in sections like Sun Village, Highland Gardens, and Buckman Village, a lot of it aged and a good share of it vacant. The city has carried deep financial strain for years, moving into state receivership and a municipal bankruptcy filing, and its home-vacancy rate has run well above the national average. That mix of old stock, blight, and thin buyer demand makes a conventional listing slow and uncertain here.
Nobu Holdings buys Chester houses in exactly that state, no repairs expected. A vacant rowhome in the West End, an inherited property in Lamokin, a tenant-occupied home behind on upkeep - we put one cash offer in writing with the comps shown and buy it as-is. There are no commissions, no fees, and no showings, and we cover standard closing costs. Because there is no mortgage or appraisal to clear, we can close on your timeline in as little as 14 days.

Local questions
Selling a house in Chester - questions we hear
Does Chester still require a use-and-occupancy inspection to sell a home?
No. Chester repealed its pre-sale residential inspection requirement in 2025, so an owner-occupied home no longer needs a city resale inspection to transfer. Rentals still have to be registered and inspected, and when you sell us a rental we take on that obligation ourselves at closing.
Can I sell before my Chester house reaches a Delaware County tax sale?
Often, yes. Delaware County holds an upset sale where liens follow the property, then a judicial sale that clears them. Selling for cash lets you pay the delinquent taxes from the proceeds at closing and keep the home out of either sale, as long as we settle first.
Will you buy a vacant or blighted Chester property?
Yes. Vacant and blighted homes are a large part of what we buy in Chester, including properties at risk of conservatorship action. We buy them as-is, in any condition, and handle the cleanout after closing, so you can take what you want from the house and leave the rest to us.
Do you buy inherited Chester homes still in probate?
Yes. If the property is passing through the Delaware County Register of Wills, our title company coordinates with the estate to confirm signing authority and clear title before we close. We buy as-is and move on the estate's schedule, with no repairs and no fees on your side.
