The New Hampshire residential purchase and sale agreement is a document used for a home-buyer to complete a real estate transaction and secure the purchase of a seller’s property. Due to the complexity of the form and the purchasing process, the buyer will typically complete this form with the assistance of a real estate broker.
Until both parties sign the agreement, the seller will be able to continue to keep the property on the market and accept any other offer they wish. New Hampshire law dictates that the seller must provide potential buyers information regarding the property’s insulation, water supply, and sewage system before or during the preparation of the purchase and sale agreement.

Buyer Beware
New Hampshire is known as a “Buyer Beware” state. This means that the seller of residential property has no legal obligation to disclose any property defects or issues to the seller. This does not prohibit the seller from obtaining their own property inspections before entering into the purchase agreement.
