  • Fee structure: deed work is often flat fee
  • Type of transfer: family, LLC, sale, trust or estate
  • Condition of the existing title and legal description
  • Number of owners who must sign and where they live
  • Whether a title search or title insurance is added

Before you hire in Franklin

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Franklin was built around 1958. 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

57% 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 Franklin building department before work starts.
