Home owners, especially those who have recently purchased property in New Hampshire, should be wary of unsolicited letters or emails asking consumers to pay a fee to obtain a copy of their real estate deed.
A consumer in Merrimack County received a letter from a company stating he should request a copy of his deed and property details for a fee of $125. The letter contains identifying details on the property and has an official appearance. It urges a response by a specified date. The letter does include a disclaimer stating that the company is not affiliated with any government agency and that it should be taken as a solicitation rather than a bill; however, the letter’s official appearance and wording could mislead consumers.
Consumers who wish to obtain an official copy of their deeds or details on their property should contact their local county clerk’s office or property appraiser’s office. These services are usually free or a small nominal fee.
