New Britain is really two municipalities. The borough is small, about 1.22 square miles with 2,836 residents at the 2020 Census, and it split off from the township in 1928. Its older roads are lined with Colonial, Federal and Victorian-era houses, and part of the Delaware Valley University campus sits within its limits. The New Britain station on SEPTA’s Lansdale/Doylestown Line puts the borough a train ride from Center City.
New Britain Township wraps around it and is much bigger: 12,327 people at the 2020 Census across 14.7 square miles. It includes villages such as Fountainville, Line Lexington, New Galena and Newville, plus the Brittany Farms and Highlands neighborhoods. Peace Valley Park and Lake Galena take up a large piece of the township’s north side, and Butler Avenue (Business Route 202), Limekiln Pike (Route 152) and Swamp Road (Route 313) carry most of the traffic.
The mix means sellers here come from very different situations. One owner may have a centuries-old house near the borough’s historic center that needs structural and system work. Another may have a colonial in one of the township’s subdivisions with the roof, HVAC and kitchen all due at once. Either way, getting a house ready to list, and then through the township’s resale inspection, takes time and money not everyone has.
How It Works
- Reach out. Use our online offer request or call. Share the address and what is going on with the house.
- Review a written offer. Within 24 hours of seeing the property, you get a cash price in writing, with no obligation to take it.
- Set the closing date. Settle in as little as 5 days, or later if you need time to move. A licensed title company handles the closing.
Houses We Buy in New Britain
We buy all kinds of homes in the borough and the township. Common examples:
- Older borough homes on Butler Avenue and nearby streets with original wiring, plumbing or windows
- Township colonials and split-levels where several big-ticket items are near the end of their life
- Houses that may need repairs before they can pass the township’s resale Use and Occupancy inspection
- Rental houses near the train station or the university with tired finishes or tenant turnover issues
- Homes in the Line Lexington area that are hard to compare on price because they straddle municipal lines
- Inherited properties where the family wants a clean, quick sale
- Houses with water in the basement, foundation cracks or other inspection red flags
Why New Britain Homeowners Choose We Buy In Bucks
We are based in Bucks County and buy houses here directly. Asking for an offer is free and there is no obligation. The offer comes in writing, and we explain the math behind it: what similar homes sell for after renovation, what we expect to spend on repairs, and our closing and holding costs.
A cash sale is not right for everyone. If your home is in good shape, an agent may be able to get you more on the open market, and that is worth considering. Our cash offer vs. listing guide compares the two. If repairs are the main obstacle, read about how we buy houses as-is in Bucks County.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does New Britain Township require a Use and Occupancy inspection when I sell?
Yes. The township’s FAQ says a Use and Occupancy Certificate is required for each resale, and the seller is responsible for applying. The certificate is valid for 30 days, so the inspection is usually scheduled within about three weeks of settlement. When you sell to us, we can work through that process with you, and we buy homes that need repairs.
Is the borough the same as the township?
No. New Britain Borough became its own municipality in 1928 and has its own government and permit office, while New Britain Township surrounds it. The borough is in the Central Bucks School District, as is most of the township. A small southwest part of the township, including most of Line Lexington, is in the North Penn School District.
Can you buy a house that still has tenants?
Often, yes. We look at the lease terms and the tenant situation and factor them into the offer, so you do not have to wait for a lease to end before selling.
Are there any fees taken out of my offer?
No. We do not charge commissions or fees, and the number in our written offer is the price we pay. Your settlement statement from the title company will show the details.
