There are two banks I can't recall to mind that don't in Northwest Pa. Northwest Saving Bank and Marquette Saving Bank. It appears the banks that cross state lines insist on this rip off. For any attorney will say that a title search usually goes back 50 years. This is a financial institution requirement, not state law. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Rossi To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 1:20 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] home buying
Cliff, You just touched on a sore spot for me. At least in Pennsylvania, title search and title insurance are required. OK, so I can understand why I need a title search done. I find it a bit frustrating to also have to insure myself against the title searching company not doing their job. What is truly frustrating is that even when I refinance a house I own, I still have to pay for title search and insurance again. So, my folks have a house built from scratch, they pay title search and insurance. I purchase the house from them, there have been no owners other than my parents, I have to pay title search and insurance. Now I am refinancing the house and have to pay for title search and insurance. Looks like a money making deal to me. Think I might go into the search and insurance game. -- Blue skies.
