Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for title insurance in New Hampshire?
In most New Hampshire residential real estate transactions, the buyer pays for the lender's title insurance policy (required by the mortgage lender) and may also choose to purchase an owner's title insurance policy to protect their own interest in the property. The specific allocation of title-related costs can be negotiated in the purchase and sale agreement, and practices may vary by transaction type and the parties involved.
How much does title insurance cost in New Hampshire?
Title insurance premiums in New Hampshire are based on the purchase price (for an owner's policy) or the loan amount (for a lender's policy). Premiums are a one-time cost paid at closing and provide coverage for as long as the insured holds an interest in the property. Because the cost depends on the specific transaction, we recommend requesting a quote tailored to your purchase or refinance.
What's the difference between settlement and escrow in a New Hampshire closing?
Settlement refers to the closing process itself — the meeting (or coordinated remote signing) where the deed, mortgage, and other closing documents are signed and the transaction is completed. Escrow refers to the holding of funds and documents by a neutral third party — typically the title company or closing attorney — during the transaction. In New Hampshire, both functions are commonly handled together by the closing attorney or title agency conducting the transaction.
Do I need a real estate attorney for a closing in Central New Hampshire?
New Hampshire does not legally require buyers to use an attorney for a residential real estate closing — but many buyers, sellers, and lenders work with one because real estate transactions involve significant financial and legal commitments. An attorney can review the purchase and sale agreement, examine title, resolve issues before closing, prepare and review documents, and represent your interest at closing. For complex transactions, commercial closings, or properties with title concerns, attorney involvement is particularly valuable.
