Lower Alloways Creek, Salem County
Lower Alloways Creek Township stretches across about 72 square miles of Salem County, and more than a third of that area is water along the Delaware Bay. It borders Elsinboro, Quinton, and Salem, as well as Cumberland County, and it includes most of Artificial Island. Hancock's Bridge holds the municipal building and post office, and Canton, Harmersville, Haskells Mills, and Alder Cove are among the other communities. About 1,700 people live here, and no state or U.S. highway passes through.
PSEG runs three reactors on Artificial Island: Salem 1, Salem 2, and Hope Creek. In 2018 the township's average property tax bill was about $2,157, the lowest in Salem County, against a county average near $5,700. Even with low taxes, an empty inherited house still costs money for insurance and upkeep. We can close quickly so the estate stops carrying it.
Hancock House, commissioned in 1734 beside the bridge over Alloways Creek, was the site of a 1778 attack in which loyalists killed militiamen and Judge William Hancock Jr. The Alloways Creek Friends Meetinghouse and Joseph Ware House in the village are also on the National Register. Older village houses can need serious repairs, and we buy them as they stand.
The township's listed elevation is about 3 feet, and much of it borders the bay. Homes on low ground can face flood-zone determinations and insurance requirements that make financing harder for retail buyers. A cash sale to us avoids the lender's flood review, so you are not waiting on insurance quotes or an elevation certificate to close.

Questions from Lower Alloways Creek sellers
It does not change how we buy. We make cash offers on houses throughout Lower Alloways Creek Township, as-is, and the location is simply part of the property we evaluate.
Yes. We buy houses in Hancock's Bridge and the rest of the township in their current condition, so you do not have to make repairs before selling.
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.
