When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Closing costs are separate from amounts owed against the house. A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts handled in the sale settlement; our closing-cost payment does not pay those balances.
A lien is a legal claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. The creditor or tax office provides its current amount and payment or release instructions. The title company checks those details for the specific sale.
The address is enough to begin the conversation. If you have them, keep the parcel number, tax bill or notice, lien or creditor letter, mortgage statement, deed, case number, and any sale notice nearby. You can call before you have everything.
The City Tax Collector can answer questions about a Portsmouth property-tax bill. The Rockingham County Registry of Deeds is the county office for recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, attachments, and plans. A title company checks the property records and requests current payoff information for the sale.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Portsmouth address, what you know about the tax or lien notice, and any timing concern. You do not have to assemble every record before calling.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the proposed price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you decide.
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the property. The lender, creditor, or tax office confirms current payoff and release information for the settlement.
The closing statement shows the sale price, amounts paid at closing, and the amount remaining after those items. The title company handles the closing paperwork and confirms the final figures.
The Portsmouth Tax Collector handles city property-tax collection and bills. The City Assessor provides property lookup and assessment records. An assessment record is not the current tax payoff or a creditor's lien balance; ask the responsible office or creditor for the current amount.
The Rockingham County Registry of Deeds keeps records such as deeds, mortgages, liens, attachments, and plans. Portsmouth lies within Rockingham County, but a county map is not a title search for an individual property. Give the address to the title company or Registry when you ask about a specific record.
A lender's mortgage-foreclosure notice is a different matter from a Portsmouth property-tax bill. Check the current date and contact shown on the notice. For the separate New Hampshire mortgage process, read the Portsmouth foreclosure page.
New Hampshire charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. Each party's tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. On a $100,000 taxable sale, that is $750 per party. The closing professional handles tax stamps through the county Registry of Deeds and the required Department of Revenue Administration filings, including any exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
