If you're buying a resale:
- get substantiation on the true remaining balance on the bond
- get a home inspection through an independent third party
- get a termite inspection
- some homeowner's insurance carriers might require a sinkhole inspection
- get title insurance (generally a cost to the seller) - already mentioned
Also as already mentioned, there are the various pro-rated costs for taxes, bond, etc. There will also be fees from the company that handles the closing for their preparation of the paperwork, processing, b.s., b.s., b.s. - they will give you a quote for those costs.
There's really not much to it!
