City of Berwyn Real Estate Closing Process
The City of Berwyn requires a pre-transfer inspection of all property prior to closing. In order for a seller to transfer a property, all municipal violations must be cleared up prior to closing (a reinspection may be necessary).
In the alternative, especially for AS IS transactions, the purchaser can take the property subject to the violations and assume the repairs after closing.
​
Berwyn also charges a transfer tax equal to 1% of the sales price listed in the contract.
