Articles and F.A.Q.'s

Will the lender refund your application fees if you do not sign the mortgage?

When you apply for a mortgage, some lenders require you to pay a special charge to cover the costs of processing your application. The amount of this fee varies, but it may be $100 to $200. Usually, you must pay this charge at the time you file the application.

Some lenders do not refund this application fee if you are not approved for the loan or if you decide not to take it. So, before you apply for a mortgage, ask lenders whether they charge an application fee. If they do, find out how much it is and under what circumstances and to what extent it is refundable. However, if you elect to cancel the transaction within three business days after you close the loan, as discussed above, you are entitled to a refund of all costs and charges imposed for the credit transaction.
