An investor purchases a property in New Hampshire through a non-judicial (power of sale) foreclosure sale. The original borrower claims they have a right to redeem the property after the foreclosure sale by paying the full outstanding debt plus costs. Which statement correctly describes the borrower's post-sale redemption rights under New Hampshire law?

Correct Answer

C) New Hampshire does not provide a statutory post-sale redemption period after a completed non-judicial foreclosure sale

New Hampshire does not provide a statutory right of post-sale redemption after a completed non-judicial (power of sale) foreclosure sale. Once the foreclosure sale is properly conducted under RSA Chapter 479, the purchaser at the sale receives title and the borrower's ownership rights are extinguished. This is distinct from some other states that provide statutory post-sale redemption periods (often 6 months to 1 year). Candidates familiar with other states' redemption rights often incorrectly assume NH provides the same protection.

Answer Options
A
The borrower has a 6-month statutory redemption period after the foreclosure sale to reclaim the property
B
The borrower has a 1-year statutory redemption period after the foreclosure sale, consistent with most New England states
C
New Hampshire does not provide a statutory post-sale redemption period after a completed non-judicial foreclosure sale
D
The borrower may redeem the property within 3 months if the foreclosure sale price was less than 70% of appraised value
