The fees for title insurance are specific to the area where the property is located. Some states have regulated fees, other states do not. Therefore, you need to contact your local title agency. If you are in a non-regulated state, the rate charged is a "market rate" meaning that most of the agencies are competitive in their rates, but can modify the rate for each transaction. So each transaction could be different as to what rate is charged. In regulated states, the fees are filed by the Title Underwriting Companies and then monitored by the State. The fees cannot vary and discounting/overcharging is illegal. As far as the actual MATH - most rates are based on a per $1000 rate. So, a per $1000 rate of $3.50 on a $200,000.00 purchase would be calcuated like this: (rate) x 200 = $700 premium Add to the PREMIUM, search charges, endorsements required by the lender, recording fees, etc = final Title Invoice Most agents will happily give you a quote for your specific transaction if you simply contact them. Here is more from WikiAnswers contributors: * I'm a mortgage broker and the closing agents I use charge $2.50 per thousand financed for a refinance and $3.50 per thousand financed for a purchase.
