Required Repairs/Escrow Agreements

When repairs are required for structural or mechanical deficiencies that exceed the Seller’s contractual obligation, can assist borrowers.  allows the ability to finance required improvements based on an “as improved” appraised value, in combination with an escrow hold-back at closing.

Unless the deficiency is a significant item that negatively impacts the safety or livability of the dwelling, loan closing need not be delayed. For those deficiencies that can be corrected post-closing, Chase will require, in addition to our standard closing items:

•

A corrected FNMA 1003 (Uniform Residential Loan Application) with the amount of financed improvements listed under the “Repairs” Section.

•

Estimates/contracts for all repairs financed with loan proceeds.

•

A -approved escrow hold-back agreement signed by buyer and

seller at closing.

•

A collection of one and one-half times of the estimated repair cost

retained at closing to be disbursed by the settlement agent.

•

Final inspection of required repairs will be required.

Rural Development requires all repairs to be completed prior to their issuance of the final Loan Note Guarantee (Rural Development Form 1980- 17). However, external repairs delayed by weather related issues must be completed within 120 days of loan closing as outlined inKentucky Rural Housing USDA  Rural Development Instruction §1980.315 – Escrow accounts for exterior development.
