Tip for Real Estate Practitioners in Middlesex County

If you are a practitioner in Greater Boston handling transactions in cities and towns whose land records are maintained at the Middlesex North Registry of Deeds in Lowell (Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Lowell, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Westford and Wilmington), you will be happy to know that you no longer have to travel up to Lowell to record your closing documents for recorded land. Effective November 3, 2008, the recording counter at the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds in Cambridge will accept in-person land recordings for the North Middlesex District. This does not pertain to registered land documents or plans, but this new convenience is likely to save you at least a few trips north each year.
