Before the arrival of the Europeans, the Pennacook and Abenaki Native American tribes were the primary inhabitants of the area that developed to become the present-day state of New Hampshire. These two tribes engaged in farming as well hunting and gathering. In the early 1600’s, French and British explorers toured this area and settled at Odiorne in 1623. Hilton’s Point was established as the first permanent settlement for the British settlers. This land was put under the Royal Province despite the Wabanaki Confederacy’s unsuccessful uprising which culminated in their defeat in Father Rale’s War, also known as Dummer’s War.

During the Revolutionary War, this region was part of the original 13 colonies that revolted against the British rule. The Royal province was inhabited by settlers who established saw mills, merchant warehouses, and shipyards. The wealthy merchants were distinguished by their fine homes while the locals were day laborers and mariners. Fort William and Mary was raided under the leadership of General Sullivan in 1774, and this resulted to more revolts. The British soldiers attacked the rebels with Muskets and cannon during this raid.

When buying or selling a house here, the real estate closing agent will typically use a Warranty Deed or Quit Claim Deed to convey the title of the property to the new owner. For the deed to be legally valid, the document must include the property’s exact legal description, which usually comes from language within the property’s original survey. This state primarily follows the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) methodology when surveying the properties. Since this state used to be part of the original 13 U.S. Colonies, it primarily follows the old English real estate surveying method of using Metes and Bounds to legally describe the property.

If you aren’t paying cash for the home and are instead getting a loan to buy the real estate, then understand that this is primarily a title theory state. This simply means that the raw title of the property will remain in a trust until the lien is ultimately paid off. The most common document that is used here to secure the lender’s interest in the title is called a Mortgage.

If for some reason the borrower cannot repay the home loan, then the lender can typically avoid having to go through the court system. They do this by merely starting a non-judicial foreclosure which typically only takes about 60 days to complete. However, when necessary, the lender may need to instead go to court and start a more lengthy and costly judicial foreclosure. The laws that pertain to the N.H. foreclosure process are mostly found in Title 38 NH Revised Statutes, Chapter 479.

However, if you are a landlord that needs to evict a non-paying tenant, then you would need to reference the N.H. statutes of Title LV, Chapter 540 and Title LV, Chapter 540-A instead. Whereas if you are looking to become a real estate agent, then you would just deal directly with the N.H. Real Estate Commission, which oversees all the licensing of the agents and most of the implementation and enforcement of the New Hampshire Real Estate Laws. Amongst other things, the main requirements to get a real estate license here would be to be at least 18 years old, complete at least 40 hours of approved NH real estate courses, successfully pass the written state exam, pass certain criminal background checks, be sponsored by a licensed N.H. real estate broker, and pay the various required licensing fees.
