It is highly unlikely you will have any surprises at a closing on a Village NEW property..cannot speak to a resale. We did ours by mail and it was effortless. All issues regarding title insurance for the buyer and other costs that are optional that you may be faced with will be presented to you for a decision before closing.

The one thing i would ask for and tell them before you get to the closing table is that you want a notarized "Contractors Sworn Statements to Owner and Final Release of Lien". This document identifies all the contractors and subcontractors who worked on your property and this document would favor your position just in case a construction lien was ever filed against your property...... if in fact for some reason they never got paid by the Villages prime Contractor. As far as I know no construction liens have been filed against new construction BUT this a is one reason why people buy Owners title insurance and would be one more reason why owners title insurance is not needed if you have this certification.
