Compare the documents and searches included, who provides the opinion, what you receive in writing and whether follow-up questions are covered. Price makes more sense alongside those details.
Ask what happens after you send the folder
One quote may cover a review of supplied copies; another may include further searches or responses to seller clarifications. Missing-record retrieval and agreement drafting may cost extra. Ask what happens if the seller sends another deed halfway through or you need a conclusion explained. These are ordinary questions to ask before deciding, not details you should discover at the end.
Compare the work, not just the total
Put the two quotations side by side. Does each include a written opinion? Who obtains missing records? Is a discussion of the findings included? What happens if the seller supplies a revised draft after the review? A lower figure may cover a smaller task. Asking these questions before paying is less awkward than discovering the difference after the work has begun.
Checks to keep with your file
- Identify the responsible advocate and point of contact.
- List included searches and document-procurement work.
- Ask when the turnaround begins and what pauses it.
- Clarify follow-up questions and revised opinions.
The next step
Request a written breakdown of the work and fees. Choose with a clear understanding of the review your purchase needs, rather than relying on a package name.
Should every property verification cost the same?
Not necessarily. The record history, property type and agreed work can differ. Ask for the basis of the fee rather than assuming a universal package.
