Repair Escrow Agreement

In general, a repair escrow agreement is made when a project, property, or land needs to be repaired, and money has to be put aside to do that. Normally, an account is created with a budget at closing to pay for the repairs the property needs to reach its full appraised value. In case extra money is needed, the escrow account is set up at closing to pay for the needed repairs. When the work is completed, the funds are released and the escrow is closed. This Repair Escrow Agreement can be used when Lender has agreed to provide a loan, and Borrower has agreed to accept the Loan, which is to be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument encumbering the Land. As a condition of making the Loan, Lender is requiring Borrower to make the Repairs to the Improvements, which Repairs are generally described in the Schedule of Work attached to this Agreement, in order to assure that the repairs are made and paid for in a timely manner, Lender is requiring Borrower to establish the Repair Escrow Fund with Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
