There could be a number of additional expenses depending on the lender
, the state and how much the borrower wants to look into properties history. These could be further structural surveys, subsidence survey, termite checks. Some lenders might charge a lending fee as well, usually maximum 1% of the borrowing. Right at the beginning of the home purchase process these fees must be estimated and accounted for. Detailed fees and cost lists can be obtained from the property agents or legal representatives and from the lender of buyer's choice. The fees make an important part of the mortgage.
