Closing costs

What a real estate closing actually costs in Ontario.

Beyond the purchase price, most Ontario residential closings carry the same third-party costs. Below is what to expect. Your written quote will include our fee separately.

Ontario Land Transfer Tax
Sliding-scale, based on purchase price. Ontario's official calculator applies.
First-Time Home Buyer refund (LTT)
Up to $4,000 in Ontario. Eligibility rules apply.
Title insurance
One-time premium, typically a few hundred dollars.
Registration and searches
Government fees payable to the province and the LTO.
HST on disbursements
Applied to certain third-party services.
Tax and utility adjustments
Buyer reimburses seller for pre-paid property tax and utilities.

Numbers change with the file. We give you an all-in written quote before any work starts.

Working with us

From first call to signing, the same lawyer stays on your file.

  1. 01 Tell us about the file A short call or note. We listen first and confirm what the file needs. No obligation, no sales pressure. Either the file is right for us and we will say so, or we will tell you who is.
  2. 02 Fixed written quote All in, in writing, before any work starts. Our fee, plus every third-party cost we can identify up front. You sign nothing on an open number.
  3. 03 We do the legal work and keep you posted You hear from us, not a paralegal, at every step. Weekly for active files, immediately when a decision is yours to make.
  4. 04 Signing and closing In person at 3521 Portage Road, or by remote video signing when it fits your file. After hours by arrangement, because real estate does not always close between nine and five.

Common questions

A few things clients ask us first.

Do I need a lawyer to buy a house in Ontario?

Yes. Only a lawyer can register title and transfer funds on closing. We handle the searches, the mortgage paperwork, the adjustments, and the release of keys.

How fast can you close?

Once you have a signed agreement and mortgage instructions, most residential closings run thirty to sixty days. Rush timelines are possible; we will tell you honestly what the file needs.

Can we sign documents remotely or after hours?

Yes for many matters, in Ontario and with your lender's approval. We arrange remote video signings, and we open the office after hours when a file needs it.

Do you act for buyers outside Canada?

Yes. Snowbirds, US-resident sellers, and international buyers are a regular part of the practice. Non-resident tax withholding, NRST, and cross-border title work are handled routinely.

Do you write wills and handle the house sale for the same family?

Yes. One firm across real estate and estates keeps the two files coordinated. Continuity is the point.

Where is your office and is there parking?

3521 Portage Road, Niagara Falls, ON L2J 2K5. On-site parking is available.
