Title Insurance Cost

Title insurance costs are usually included in the closing expenses of a home. What most people don't realize is that the buyer doesn't have to accept the title insurance cost he is quoted before closing. There are many ways to reduce that expense and save hundreds of dollars. Just because those expenses are included in the closing costs a buyer doesn't have to accept it. The homebuyer should shop around to find the best price for this coverage. An individual has every right to lower the insurance premium and therefore lower the closing costs paid.

Reducing ones title insurance costs is really not very complicated. The best place to start trying to reduce title insurance cost is to make some phone calls. It is recommended that a homebuyer contact providers of these policies and compare prices. If the home being purchased has been sold in the previous five years, the buyer should check with the company who wrote the original policy. A lot of money could be saved on the policy by using a company that has already done the work on the property. If all they have to do is update the information, then the premium should be a lot less.

There are a lot of other discounts one can look for that will help reduce costs. If you are a first time homebuyer, many companies will offer special reduced premiums. Sometimes a buyer can lower title insurance cost by getting the policy from the same company that is writing the homeowners property insurance policy. Combining multiple policies is seen as customer loyalty by an insurance company and is rewarded with decreased title insurance costs. Since coverage is required on the property by the lender as well, shopping for both title and property coverage makes sense and could save money on both. Buying a home is never mentioned in the Bible, but there is mention of buying other essentials. "When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? " (John 6:5)

A buyer should make sure he knows what he is getting when shopping for reduced title insurance costs. The policy is supposed to cover the purchase price of the home. What else should you expect the policy to cover? First, the policy should cover errors or omissions in the deed, which are discovered by examining public records. The policy also covers any mistakes made in research and recording as well. These policies also cover problems like forgery, undisclosed heirs, and liens by contractors or unpaid taxes.
