Buyer closing cost calculator.

Charleston buyers pay nothing on the loan itself. What they do pay is the closing attorney, the lender, title insurance and recording fees. This adds them up.

South Carolina has no intangible or mortgage recording tax on the new loan. A South Carolina closing must be supervised by a licensed attorney, who must be present, so the attorney fee is a real line item. Every figure is an editable default.

Questions about this

Do I need an attorney to buy a home in South Carolina?

Yes. South Carolina requires a licensed attorney to supervise the closing and to be physically present for it, under State v. Buyers Service Co. and later Supreme Court rulings. The buyer usually chooses the closing attorney, and their fee is part of closing costs, typically a flat fee plus title work.
