Should I go with what was suggested by bank or should I try to find the cheaper ones. And if yes, how would you go about it. HSBC provides title service for $2400 on $230K refi. How does it look?

  1. Title is regulated in NYS. NYS also requires a re-issue rate if your policy is recent. I’m almost positive if your last title is within 5 years you get the reissue rate.
    I ask my title co for reissue rates on all deals regardless of how long my client has the mortgage.

  2. a refi sometimes can get your old policy reissued-at a much lower rate. Also since you already have title insurance from when you bought the house, you really don’t need another policy. The Bank will require it for them however.
