A bank appraisal is part of a real estate transaction anytime a buyer is obtaining a mortgage. Problems with a bank appraisal are a very common reason why a real estate closing can be delayed. The reasons issues that arise from a bank appraisal can delay a closing can vary from a home that under appraises and the buyer and seller cannot come to new terms or because of repairs that are required by the appraiser. Nothing is more frustrating than a seller who finds out a week before a target closing date that there were indeed repairs required in the banks appraisal that need to be completed prior to closing.
Another popular reason why a real estate closing can be delayed relates to the title of the piece of real estate. It can be extremely frustrating for a buyer who is attempting to sell a home in the future only to find out there were previous liens against their home that were not discovered when they purchased the home.
A home without clean title is virtually unsalable. There are certain title related problems which actually arise frequently. Most of the common title related problems can be solved, but take significant time and will likely delay the closing or possibly cancelled.
Many sellers attorneys will wait until a buyer receives their mortgage commitment, however, waiting for the buyers mortgage commitment can cause delays in the future.
A title search is going to be performed in almost every situation, so even if a buyer gets declined for their mortgage, at least the title search is already completed and will not hold up a future transaction.
Instrument Survey Related Issues. Another task that a real estate attorney will perform is a review of an instrument survey. An instrument survey in real estate can be defined simply as a drawing of the land a home is situated on. Real estate closings can be delayed in the event there is a discrepancy in the instrument survey.
One of the most common discrepancies in instrument surveys in real estate are boundary line encroachments or disputes. An example of a boundary line encroachment could include a neighbors fencing being on the property of the home that is being sold or vise versa.
Instrument survey issues often are solved by the included parties signing an affidavit which indicate the consent and understanding of the dispute or encroachments. The reason these disputes or encroachments can delay a real estate closing is because it maybe possible the parties who need to sign an affidavit are unable to be reached or are unwilling to sign off on the affidavit.
Disparities In Closing Figures. Prior to a closing in real estate, both the buyer and seller are given their respective closing figures. There are currently changes that are being made in the documents that are prepared for closing and the figures that go along with a real estate closing.
They are being replaced by the closing disclosure and loan estimate. Lender Requires Additional Documents. When a buyer receives their mortgage commitment, it means the funds have been approved and the closing can occur, right? In most cases it does mean the funds have been approved, however, there are times when a lender will require additional documents at the last minute.
Even if a buyer is pre-approved , then receives their mortgage commitment, and is cleared to close, lenders are going to at the very least review their credit and bank statements one final time within a few days of closing. Reviewing the credit and bank statements are not the reason real estate closings are delayed but the additional documents a lender may require after reviewing them is a reason that closings are delayed.
For example, during a recent sale in Webster, NY the buyer had some large deposits appear in their bank accounts a few weeks before closing. A seller may agree to early occupancy during a delay in the closing process. Edwards says this allows the buyer to move into the property and pay a prorated rent until the residence is formally transferred. The buyer could have the seller pay a similar rent if they need more time in the home before moving out. New London teacher assaulted as schools reckon with post-pandemic issues.
