Deeds, mortgages, liens and attachments, and other documents pertaining to land records are filed with the Registry. Plans of properties that have been surveyed and recorded will also be found in the Registry, but not all properties have a survey. The Cheshire Registry is also fortunate to have the collections of the late Samuel Wadsworth, Heman Chase and William House for researching.

Consumers should be aware of mailings being sent to property owners throughout the state that appear to be official government notices recommending, “that all United States [or New Hampshire] homeowners obtain a copy of their current grant deed” and further indicate that, for a fee of $86.00 or $87.00, these companies will provide the property owner with a copy of their Grant Deed and a Property Profile.
