If seller accepts check and cashes check for purchase of a house is this binding?

In the United States, all contracts for real property must be in writing to be legal. Different states have other provisions. If the seller cashed a check without any signed paperwork attached, it may not be binding. If the seller cashed the check and there was signed paperwork, and it was legal under the laws of that area, it probably was binding.

What can you do if a house is purchased with a fixed rate loan and the mortgage is reassigned to another lender and that lender changes the loan to an ARM?

First of all, you signed an agreement with a fixed rate, and just because it was sold does not mean they have the right to change the mortgage agreement. If you signed a new mortgage agreement stating the new agreement then you are liable for that, but you can call your mortgage company and tell them you have a copy of the agreement you signed and, that you didn't agree to an arm. To sum it up, unless you re-signed a mortgage agreement, they DO NOT have the right to change anything just because they have baught your mortgage from your original mortgagor. Please do not let them run you over. Good luck.

The original agreement was in writing and we have voice mail acceptance from our RE agent as evidence that the seller agreed by phone is a verbal agreement reached in a real estate deal binding in NH?

Any amendments to the original contract must be made in writing and signed by the parties to be enforceable. An offer or any discussion amounts to a proposal and the proposal must be reduced to writing. In your case, you have an agent stating that the seller agreed- not the seller. The agent's statement over the phone is not binding on the seller.
