closing fees


Are these closing fees too high?
Patriot searches $150,
Surveyor $950, recording fees $650, bankruptcy searches $150.
My lawyer is using a title company that wants to charge me those fees at closing.

Filing for utility meters


I am looking at a house
originally built as
1 family converted
to a 2 family.Can’t Locate the C of O with
the building dept. The electrical was upgraded once. Presently,
there a 3 electrical and 3 gas meters.Nobody ever filed for those meters
with the building dept.
What are the consequences
of buying a house like that.The house was built in the 1940′s, therefore an original C Of O should
of been on file, and somebody should of file for those meters when they were installed.The
house is now rent occupied.
