New Hampshire
The moment a New Hampshire Purchase and Sales Agreement is signed, Ratifyly reads it and confirms the required paperwork is present and signed — the NHAR Property Disclosure, the radon/arsenic/lead notification, the water/septic/insulation and flood-zone disclosures, the brokerage-relationship disclosure, and lead-paint documents on pre-1978 homes — then flags anything missing before it becomes a problem. From there it tracks every deadline the contract runs on, from the inspection window through financing, title, and closing. Brokerage, agent, and client all watch the same live view of the same transaction.
The contracts we read
Most New Hampshire deals run on the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS (NHAR) Purchase and Sales Agreement, paired with the NHAR Property Disclosure (Residential Only) and the statutory radon/arsenic/lead notification. NH is not a mandatory-attorney state, though closings are commonly handled by a settlement attorney or title company. Ratifyly reads the document itself, so it works the same whether the contract is an NHAR form, a local-board or attorney-drafted agreement, or a brokerage template.
But Ratifyly isn't limited to those. Because it reads the document itself— not a fixed template — it handles whatever version an agent actually uses: the statewide association form, a regional or local board form, an attorney-drafted contract, or a brokerage's own paperwork. And it reads the whole packet, not just the contract — disclosures, addenda, the closing disclosure, title commitment, inspection reports, wire instructions, and more — so nothing in the file goes unreviewed.
Required paperwork we check
- Radon, arsenic, and lead-paint health-risk notification — statutory language the buyer signs or initials to acknowledge receipt (RSA 477:4-a)
- Written notification on private water supply, private sewage/septic disposal, and insulation — system type, location, malfunctions, and service history (RSA 477:4-d)
- Written disclosure of whether the property sits in a federally designated flood hazard zone, effective July 19, 2024 (RSA 477:4-d)
- Brokerage-relationship disclosure identifying the agent's role to the buyer or seller (RSA 331-A)
- Federal lead-based paint disclosure and EPA pamphlet for homes built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. 4852d)
- Note: NH imposes these specific statutory notifications rather than a single omnibus condition form, and the buyer acknowledges receipt by signing the disclosure
Deadlines we track
- Inspection / due-diligence contingency window set in the Purchase and Sales Agreement
- Financing and mortgage-commitment deadline
- Appraisal contingency tied to the lender's timeline
- Title examination and clearance of any defects
- Delivery and signed acknowledgment of the RSA 477:4-a and 477:4-d disclosures
- Closing / settlement date
