What’s Involved In A Title Search In New Hampshire?

Aug 17, 2012 | Karen Kelley | Categories : Financing a Home, Home Buying Tips | Leave a comment

When buying a property, once your Purchase & Sales Agreement has been signed, a title examiner will search the public records at the county Registry of Deeds and Registry of Probate to look for problems with the home’s title.

This search typically involves a review of the land records going back 35 years or more. More than one-third of all searches reveal a title problem that title professionals fix before you go to the closing. For instance, a previous owner may have had a mortgage that was not released on record. Or the previous owner may have failed to pay real estate taxes.

Whether you’re buying vacant land, a house or a condominium, there are title records to be examined and potential problems inherent with all of them. So make sure you contact a title company to perform a title search before you purchase your next property.
