Frequently Asked Questions

What does a lender’s attorney do at a New York real estate closing?

In New York, banks and mortgage lenders are represented by their own attorney at closing, separate from the buyer’s and seller’s counsel. The lender’s attorney reviews the title commitment to confirm the lender’s mortgage will be a first-priority lien, prepares or reviews the mortgage documents, coordinates the wire of loan funds, and ensures all conditions of the mortgage commitment are satisfied before allowing the loan to fund. Borrowers typically pay the lender’s attorney fee as a closing cost.

What is a construction loan closing and how does it differ from a purchase closing in Brooklyn?

A construction loan closes before a building is complete — the borrower receives a commitment for funds to be drawn in stages as construction milestones are reached, rather than a lump sum at closing. The lender’s attorney reviews plans, permits, and contractor contracts, and the title company insures the lender’s lien position at each draw. Brooklyn’s active development market — particularly in neighborhoods like Bushwick, East Williamsburg, and Crown Heights — generates significant construction loan closing work for real estate attorneys.

What rights do buyers have if a Brooklyn seller cannot deliver clear title at closing?

If a seller cannot convey clear title — for example, because a lien was not discharged or a title defect was discovered — the buyer has the right under most New York contracts to cancel and receive a full refund of the contract deposit. Alternatively, the buyer may agree to an adjournment giving the seller time to cure the title defect. In some cases, where the defect cannot be cured, the buyer may pursue specific performance or breach of contract damages in Kings County Supreme Court at 360 Adams Street.
