A New Hampshire special warranty deed is best explained as a cross between a quitclaim deed and a general warranty deed. It provides a measure of guarantee from the seller to the purchaser; though it is not a full guarantee, as is the case in a general warranty deed. The seller is merely guaranteeing that he or she has not granted an interest in the property to another person during the time they have owned the property. However, the seller does not guarantee that, prior to receiving the property, there was not another transfer unaccounted for by people who owned the property before the grantor. Still, it is vital to have completed a thorough title search to determine what interest is being bought in the property.
