How to Save Money on Survey and Title Fees
When refi, you can get discounts for reissued title policies, and if your lender requiring a survey you can sometimes use your old survey instead of paying for a new one. For purchase, you may not have much luck negotiating reduced fees for title work or lawyer fees. Your sales contract will identify who will be holding your loan closing, where it will be held, and who will issue your title insurance.
When refi, use same title agency to get discount. Some call this a reissue of an original title report which can cost much less than a full title insurance policy. You need to ask for. No better offer comes automatically.
To save title fees, make sure to choose to do everything under one roof to get package discounts – bundle.
When selling a home, seller needs to provide a copy of survey, or pay for survey fees.
