When is the buyer legally the new owner

Got an interesting situation.  COE was dated 9/12.  Lender funds arrived 9/12, Buyer funds arrived 9/13.  Some lender conditions were not met, but lender gave authorization to disburse the funds 9/13.  Escrow company is not disbursing until last piece of signed paperwork is received which will be 9/16.  Once received, escrow company will record.

What date does the new buyer start paying

- HOA dues

- Interest on the loan

- Property Taxes

- Property Insurance

    So the lender is going to eat the interest when the wire came in on 9/12?  If it is when the property records, then all the paperwork will need to be re-done and re-signed.  Don't think that's going to happen either.

    9/12 was the official COE used in all paperwork so all fees/interest/taxes started on this day.  I could not get a very good explanation about this from anyone involved in the transaction.  I basically got, "it's just the way it is".
