Halifax Real Estate Information
Closing Costs
On the day you actually buy your new home, in addition to your down payment and the prepaid property tax (paid to Nova Scotia Government) and homeowners insurance premiums (typically 2-5% of the home's price), you'll need cash for various fees associated with the purchase. These expenses are known as closing costs and are paid by both buyers and sellers.
Some closing costs you pay up-front when you apply for a mortgage loan. That includes money for a credit check on all applicants and an appraisal on the property. Keep in mind that even if you don't eventually receive the loan, that money is not refundable.
