Cost tools
Closing cost calculator for Charleston SC.
South Carolina is an attorney-closing state. Budget about 2% to 5% of the price on the buyer side, separate from down payment. The deed recording fee is customarily the seller’s.
What buyers actually write a check for
A South Carolina closing attorney runs title, the closing, and recording. You also pay owner’s and lender’s title insurance when you finance. Cash buyers skip lender fees but still pay attorney, title, and a smaller prepaid set.
The line that sounds huge — deed stamps — is usually the seller’s. Pair this calculator with the all-in monthly tool so cash-to-close and the payment are in the same conversation.
