Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about title insurance, title searches, and real estate closings in New York’s Capital Region.
What is title insurance, and why do I need it?
Title insurance protects property owners and lenders from financial loss due to title defects, ownership disputes, liens, or errors in public records. Unlike other types of insurance that cover future events, title insurance safeguards against past issues that could impact your ownership rights.
What's the difference between owner's and lender's title insurance?
Owner’s title insurance protects the homebuyer or property owner, while lender’s title insurance protects the mortgage lender. Most lenders require title insurance as part of the closing process, so most transactions involve both.
How much does title insurance cost in New York?
Title insurance costs typically range between 0.5% and 1% of the purchase price and are based on New York State-regulated rates. It’s a one-time payment made at closing that provides coverage for as long as you own the property.
What is a title search, and how long does it take?
A title search is a detailed examination of public records to verify ownership history, existing liens, easements, and potential title defects. Most searches take 5 to 10 business days, though complex cases may require additional time.
Who pays for title insurance — the buyer or the seller?
In New York State, the buyer usually pays for title insurance, though this can be negotiated in the purchase agreement. Lender’s title insurance is almost always paid by the buyer as part of their loan closing costs.
Does Northway Title handle both residential and commercial transactions?
Yes. We specialize in both residential and commercial title services throughout New York State, with deep experience in complex commercial real estate transactions, development projects, and high-value property deals.
