This New Hampshire Purchase and Sale Agreement with Installment Payments, (often referred to as a Land Contract or Contract for Deed) is used when:
The buyer does not pay the full purchase price at closing.
Instead, the buyer makes monthly or periodic payments over time (often directly to the seller).
Seller retains legal title until the buyer pays in full, at which point the deed is delivered.
This serves the same purpose as a land contract:
Facilitates seller-financing.
Delays the formal transfer of title until payment is complete.
Allows possession to be transferred before full payment.
Common Uses of this Purchase and Sale Agreement
Seller Financing (when buyer cannot get a traditional mortgage)
Purchase of land or mobile homes on private land
Family transfers or private sales
Investment properties or rent-to-own situations
Buyers building equity over time before getting deed/title
Can be implemented for traditional installment payments (ex. 20 year term) or short term with a balloon payment
