National Record Service, Inc., is offering to provide homeowners with a copy of their property deed for a processing fee of $59.50. This company is also charging $20.00 for each additional certified copy of these deeds. Considering that this company is ordering certified copies from our office for an average of $1.00 to $3.00 each, National Record Service, Inc. is profiting approximately 96% at the expense of the homeowner. By creating a sense of urgency to have these documents on hand, homeowners are being maneuvered into needlessly paying these exorbitant fees.
Register Ashe would like to remind the public that all documents available on our website can be printed from one's home or office at no cost. Certified copies, however, are available from our office for a fee of $1.00 per page. The Register urges any homeowner in Hampden County who receives this or any offer like this to contact the Registry of Deeds before making said purchase.
