All in Good Faith

When speaking with a lender to get an interest rate quote you also need to get an idea on the closing costs involved with getting a mortgage. The lender will have its own set of fees such as underwriting fees and processing charges among others. There is also a whole host of third party fees that are outside the control of the lender but ones that you can expect to pay.

When speaking with a lender you can ask for a list of all fees. The complete list of estimated closing costs is itemized on the Good Faith Estimate of Settlement Charges, or simply the "Good Faith." The lender may or may not provide you a good faith estimate but there are times when they are required to.

All lenders are required to give you a good faith estimate of settlement charges within 3 business days after the receipt of a loan application or immediately if the loan application was taken face to face with the loan officer. But what exactly constitutes a loan application?

Lenders have ฝากขายอาคารพาณิชย์ followed recent guidelines establishing what is and what is not a loan application. New rules mean some closing cost estimates have very little tolerance compared to what was disclosed and what actually occurs. Some closing costs have zero tolerance meaning if the fees are higher than originally disclosed the lender has to pay the difference, not the borrower.

However, a lender is off the hook for that difference if no application has been provided the lender. A consumer simply signing a loan application and sending it to the lender will not trigger a good faith estimate. Neither will just the name and address of the potential borrower.

In order for a lender to be required to issue a good faith estimate they must be in receipt of an application that includes the borrower's name, social security number, monthly income, property address, estimated value of the property and the loan amount. If any of these items are missing on the application, the lender is not obligated to issue a good faith estimate of settlement charges. They can provide you with a quote, but they cannot be required to issue any estimate regulated by disclosure and tolerance guidelines.
