Most home loans have fees. You can sometimes borrow the money needed to cover these fees, but that will obviously increase the overall amount of debt you undertake. Some fees are paid up front, and others are not due until closing. Typically, you will be charged for these kinds of fees at closing:
- Application fees
- Attorney fees
- Recording fees
- Notary fees
- Appraisal fees
- Credit report fees
- Title examination
- Abstract of title fees
- Title insurance premiums
- Property survey fees
- Deed preparation fees
- Other mortgage fees
When you apply for a home mortgage, the lender is required to send you a loan estimate form within three days of your application. This three-page document will include information about your mortgage, including the estimated closing costs associated with your loan. You should review this document and make sure you understand all of the costs associated with closing.
