Your costs when you refinance home mortgage loans

Recording fees

Recording fees will be collected to record documents in to the court records. These vary from State and County and are normally so much for the first page and an additional amount for each page recorded. You can check with your county recorder's office as to the specific charges and then check the home mortgage loans settlement statement for accuracy. Sometimes there are additional recording charges in the form of a registration tax or other charge. Again you can verify the accuracy of these charges by inquiring with the recorder's office of amounts charged and verifying this on your settlement statement.

Survey
This is just one of many inspections that a buyer may choose to have done. There are several types of surveys that differ in price. A boundary survey will stake the boundaries while a mortgage inspection will locate easements and setback lines in relationship to the home and lot. Talk with your lender and survey companies to determine if you feel a survey is needed and what kind of survey you want done. Your lender may require at least a mortgage inspection survey.

Inspections
There are many different inspections that can be performed. Some of these are termite, mechanical, radon, structural, and roof. Do some checking to determine what inspections you feel necessary and what companies you want to do them. Some companies offer whole house inspections that cover several of the above-mentioned inspections all at the same time. Again, compare price and companies to determine which is best for you. The lender will have an appraisal of the property done to determine value of the property, but the appraiser is NOT there to do the above-mentioned inspections. So don't think that an appraisal takes the place or includes inspections by qualified personnel.
