The beginning date of the search will be the effective date of the last title insurance <br /> policy issued for the Property.

Zoning laws affect setback and use requirements to <br /> name a few. Environmental hazards include, but are not limited to, the existence of radon gas, <br /> lead-based paint,underground storage tanks and asbestos. <br /> Closing <br /> I will prepare a closing statement to be executed by the parties at the closing which will <br /> be held at the Brooks' attorney's office in Hillsborough or other location which you may <br /> designate.
