Most lender insurance is $2.50 per $1000 of the loan and owner's insurance (which includes lender's insurance as well) is $3.75 per $1000 of the sale price of the home plus $175. It's not fixed or regulated in MA, so prices may vary. So, if you paid $355,000 for a home, owner's & lender's insurance combined would be $1,506.25 at these prices. If you got a loan for 95% of the cost ($337,250) and didn't want owner's insurance, the cost of lender's insurance would be $843.13. Lender's insurance is mandatory, owner's is optional. Owner's lasts until you sell the home, I believe lender's would have to be purchased again if you refinanced.
who pays title insurance when selling a home
The current owner of a home is the person, people, or entity (like a company or organization) which has the title to a home. The owner may or may not live in the home.
Title insurance is usually required by the lender to protect the lender against loss resulting from claims by others against your new home. In some states, attorneys offer title insurance as part of their services in examining title and providing a title opinion. The attorney's fee may include the title insurance premium. In other states, a title insurance company or title agent directly provides the title insurance. A Lender's Title Insurance policy is usually required when you are refinancing. If you have an Owner's Title policy already (you probably received it with your recorded deed) and can provide the title agent with a copy of it, you can very often get a reissue credit that will greatly reduce the amount of money this lenders title insurance policy will cost you. To save money on title insurance, compare rates among various title insurance companies. Ask what services and limitations on coverage are provided under each policy. In many states, title insurance premium rates are established by the state and may not be negotiable. Even if the premium rates are not negotiable, many of the title-related fees can vary from company to company and should be compared as well.
When paying cash for a new home, there are no regulatory laws that providing that you MUST purchase Owner's Title Insurance. However, an Owner's Policy protects you against liens and title defects that might have occurred during previous ownerships. A comprehensive title examination should always be performed to support the title policy. What if the builder of your new home never paid off a mechanic's lien against the property and it was never paid? Liens affect the property, not the previous owner. If the builder refused to pay the lien amount after the closing took place, you would have to either sue the builder or pay the lien and then sue the builder. If you had an Owner's Policy, the title insurance company would be required to defend the claim in court - all for the one-time fee you paid for the policy. It is a low cost, one-time fee insurance that is in effect for the lifetime of your ownership, whether you own the property for 1 year or 100.
You do not need a health examination to obtain home owner insurance. Your health is not an issue. If you were to suddenly die, after buying home owner insurance, the insurance company doesn't have to pay a death benefit, since home owner insurance isn't life insurance. What happens when a home owner dies is that someone else inherits the house. The new owner will have the option of continuing the existing home owner insurance policy.
The average monthly cost of home owner's insurance is aproximately $250,000 a month.
