Price

What drives the cost of foreclosure defense in Birmingham

  • Fee structure: flat fee for review and negotiation, or hourly for litigation
  • How far along the foreclosure is when you call
  • Whether the servicer is negotiating or litigation is needed
  • Second mortgages, liens or co-owners involved
  • Court proceedings for possession after redemption
  • Court costs, separate from attorney fees
  • The age of the home: the typical Birmingham home was built around 1960, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Birmingham

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Birmingham was built around 1960. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

50% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Birmingham building department before work starts.
