Closing costs are part of the costs of setting up a home equity loan or line of credit. They are similar in nature to those you pay when you get a mortgage. Closing costs can include such things as:
- Fee for property appraisal
- Application Fee
- Attorney's Fees
- Title Search
- Mortgage Preparation and Filing Fees (Dependent on Municipality)
- Property and Title Insurance
According to LendingTree.com, these fees can be between 2 and 5 percent of the loan.
Thus, closing costs on a $50,000 HELOC would be between $1,000 and $2,500 depending on your location, loan to value ratio, and local laws.
There are no application fees or closing costs on a Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit from Hanscom FCU. However, if a discharge is requested within 24 months of closing, the member must reimburse Hanscom FCU for all closing costs.
