Chatham Borough, Morris County
Chatham Borough is a walkable borough of about 9,200 residents on the Passaic River, bordered by Chatham Township, Madison, Florham Park, Summit, and Millburn. Route 24 crosses the borough, Main Street (Route 124) is its local spine, and Chatham station sits on NJ Transit's Morristown Line. The borough was largely built out before World War II, and some homes date to the colonial and Revolutionary periods.
Chatham's Historic Preservation Commission reviews permit applications that change the outside of properties in the Main Street Historic District and reports to the Planning Board. Demolition there needs detailed plans and Commission approval of the replacement. That review can slow a buyer's plans. We buy as-is and take on any future review ourselves.
Most of the borough was built before World War II, and colonial houses such as the Paul Day House on Kings Road still stand. Older homes often need roofs, heating systems, electrical updates, or foundation work that shows up in a buyer's inspection. We buy older Chatham homes in their current condition, with no repair credits to negotiate.
Chatham village voted to leave Chatham Township in 1892 and became a borough in 1897. The borough and township remain separate municipalities with their own taxes and records. We confirm which side of the line your house is on from the deed and tax records before we make an offer.

Questions from Chatham Borough sellers
The Commission reviews exterior changes and demolitions in the Main Street Historic District, not ordinary sales. We buy the house as-is, so you don't have to make any changes that would trigger a review.
Yes. We buy older Chatham Borough homes for cash in their current condition, including houses that need major systems work.
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
