How lien payoffs work

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.

A lien is a claim that can affect the property or what is settled at closing. A payoff statement gives the current amount and payment instructions from the creditor or tax office. The title company checks recorded claims, and the office or creditor confirms the current figures for the closing.

Records that help

Bring what you have: a tax bill or lien notice, payoff statement, mortgage statement, court paper, sale notice, or parcel number. You can call before you have any of those. Start with the address; the title company and the office or creditor named on the notice can check the records and current balance as the sale moves forward.

If the payoff is more than the house is worth

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Manchester records and New Hampshire tax facts

A property-tax notice and a mortgage foreclosure notice concern different debts. Check the current balance and status with the office or creditor named on each notice; do not use one notice to answer the other question. For lender foreclosure notices, see our Manchester foreclosure information.

Hillsborough County Register of Deeds ↗

The New Hampshire transfer-tax process uses the county register for tax stamps when the deed is recorded. Use the county office page for recording information; a recorded document is not the same as a creditor's current payoff statement.

New Hampshire real estate transfer tax

New Hampshire charges the buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. On a $100,000 taxable sale, each side owes $750, or $1,500 combined. Each party's tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. Read the state rules for the rate and minimum and both parties and rounding.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax.

That closing-cost promise covers the named transfer tax, not your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Those figures are separate and are checked for the specific closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers in Manchester have said about working with us.

“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
Caroline F.Hooksett Road, Manchester NHNovember 2025
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
Kevin D.Amoskeag, Manchester NHMarch 2026
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
Lisa F.North End, Manchester NHSeptember 2025

Manchester property liens and back taxes questions

Can I sell my Manchester house with back taxes or liens before paying them?

How are liens paid when I sell to you?

What records should I have ready when I call?

Start with the property address and any current tax bill, lien notice, payoff statement, mortgage statement, court paper, or sale notice you have.
