Do you buy warehouses and industrial buildings in Bucks County?

Yes. Direct Warehouse Buyers buys in all 54 Bucks County municipalities: a warehouse in Bensalem, a truck terminal in Bristol Township, a flex building in Warminster or a plant in Quakertown. We buy as-is, in any size or condition, vacant or leased, older buildings included, even with a township resale inspection still to pass.

That includes the buildings that are hard to sell on the open market. Think low clear heights, few loading docks, a tenant on an old lease, a roof near the end of its life or a tank nobody has looked at in years. Tell us what you know about the building, and we'll tell you whether it fits. See what we buy for the full list.

What does it cost to sell an industrial building in Bucks County?

Bucks County's realty transfer tax is 2%: 1% to the state and 1% to the municipality and school district, paid when the deed is recorded. It's figured on the property's value, which the county notes isn't always the sale price. At $2 million, 2% is $40,000. Selling to us adds no commission and no fees.

According to Pennsylvania's Department of Revenue, buyer and seller are both liable for the whole state tax, so the state can collect all of it from either one. The agreement of sale sets how the two of you split it, and our written offer spells out who pays each cost. Most of the rest of a seller's costs settle at closing, line by line on the title company's statement:

• Your mortgage payoff and any liens or judgments
• Your share of the transfer tax, as the agreement sets it
• Prorated property taxes and, on a leased building, prorated rent and tenant deposits

Municipal certificate and inspection fees are separate, paid to the borough or township under its own rules.

On a listed sale you'd also pay the commission in your listing agreement, and our comparison of selling direct and listing sets out the costs of each.

For a side-by-side look at what a seller nets here, in Philadelphia and in New Jersey, see our guide to the cost to sell a warehouse.

Does my Bucks County municipality require an inspection before I sell?

Several do, so confirm yours with the municipality. Bensalem, Falls, Warrington and Milford townships require a use and occupancy certificate or an inspection when a commercial or industrial building changes hands. New Britain Township inspects structures before a sale or rental. We check yours early and plan the closing date around it.

Other municipalities write their rules differently. Lower Southampton Township's commercial use and occupancy application includes a sewer lateral requirement that applies on a sale or transfer. Quakertown Borough's commercial registration rules, posted on the borough's site, require owners to register every year, with an annual registration and inspection fee. Owners must also report a new occupant within ten days of the occupant taking possession. If your municipality isn't listed here, we'll look up its rule with you.

A failed inspection doesn't have to stop a sale. Under Pennsylvania's Act 133 of 2016, when a resale inspection finds violations, the municipality issues a temporary certificate. The buyer then has 12 months from the purchase to correct them or demolish the building, a period the municipality can't shorten but may extend.

If a violation is substantial (it makes the building unfit for human habitation), the municipality issues a temporary access certificate instead, allowing repairs but not occupancy. It can't require an escrow or bond for either certificate. Because we buy as-is, you don't have to fix the violations before you sell, and our offer prices the condition we've seen and what you've told us.

Where are Bucks County's industrial areas?

Most of the industrial space Cushman & Wakefield tracks in Bucks County is in Lower Bucks. There, I-95, the Pennsylvania Turnpike and US 13 run near the Delaware River, with freight centers named for Bensalem, Bristol, Falls and Morrisville. Others are named for Warminster, Hatfield, Telford, Plumstead and the Quakertown Interchange.

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) counts 11 freight centers in Bucks County, including Warminster, which it shares with Montgomery County. Two Montgomery County centers, Hatfield East and Hatfield North, also reach into Bucks. DVRPC sorts each center by the kind of industry it holds:

• Distribution and logistics ("ample warehousing space and highway connectivity"): Bristol North, Falls-Keystone Trade Center and Quakertown Interchange
• Heavy industrial (large factories, refineries and mills): Bristol South
• High tech manufacturing (pharmaceutical, biotechnology or aviation businesses): Bensalem South and Warminster
• Local manufacturing and distribution (smaller, general-purpose buildings used by small businesses): Bensalem North, Falls-Middletown, Falls-Morrisville, Plumstead and Telford, plus Hatfield East and Hatfield North, counted under Montgomery County

DVRPC's 2021 Bristol Corridor Study covers US 13 (Bristol Pike) and PA 413 through Bristol Township, Bristol Borough, Tullytown and Bensalem. It describes Bucks County's freight network as one of the most comprehensive in Greater Philadelphia. The first stage of the I-95 and Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange opened in Bristol Township in September 2018, LevittownNow reported. DVRPC lists a second stage that will fully connect I-95, I-295 and I-276. At the other end of the county, the Quakertown Interchange is Exit 44 on the Northeast Extension (I-476).

Keystone Trade Center

Keystone Trade Center, the former U.S. Steel Fairless Works in Falls Township, covers more than 1,800 acres along the Delaware River. NorthPoint Development bought it for $160 million in December 2020. FedEx took the first building, 1,159,849 square feet, and the site is a Keystone Opportunity Investment Zone through December 31, 2035. In November 2023, Falls Township said NorthPoint intends to build 20 or more buildings totaling 10 million square feet. In March 2025, LevittownNow reported that Falls Township supervisors approved revised plans turning a planned 1 million-square-foot distribution center at 1 Ben Fairless Drive into a data center.

What if my Bucks County building has environmental problems?

We buy Bucks County buildings with old tanks, past spills and open cleanup cases, and we price the work in. If any part of the site went through Pennsylvania's Act 2 Land Recycling Program, bring the reports. According to the Department of Environmental Protection, Act 2's liability protection extends to future owners.

Old industrial sites do get reused here. In April 2026, the state's Industrial Sites Reuse Program granted $125,625 to the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority for 900 East Clymer Avenue in Sellersville. A manufacturer made air pressure and temperature gauges there until the mid-1990s. The grant pays for soil cleanup, removal of an abandoned underground storage tank and groundwater sampling, so the site can be reused for housing. Our FAQ covers environmental questions in more detail, and our page on Act 2 for sellers covers the program's steps.
