Close on Time, Every Time!
Buying a property?
Buying a home or investment property is exciting, but also legally complex. Our lawyers carefully review the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) to ensure your rights are protected and that all promised terms are legally enforceable. We also do a full due diligence review, which includes checking the zoning and doing a full title search to find any hidden liens, easements, or legal problems. When it’s time to close, we make sure that everything goes smoothly between you, the seller, and your lender so that you may move in without any problems.
Selling a property?
You need more than just a buyer; you need legal protection that you can count on. Our expert lawyers will make sure your transaction goes smoothly by writing a clear, legally sound Agreement of Purchase and transaction (APS) that meets both industry standards and the demands of your property. We protect your financial interests by reviewing all conditions, flagging risky clauses, and ensuring your rights are fully secured before you sign.
Refinancing
Refinancing your mortgage can be a smart financial move, but only if the legal side is handled properly. Our lawyers offer trusted legal advice tailored to your refinancing goals, whether that means reducing monthly payments, consolidating debt, or tapping into your home equity for renovations. We’ll review and prepare the necessary documents, ensure all terms are clear and in your best interest, and liaise with lenders to avoid delays or complications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What all does a first-time home buyer need to know?
A first-time home buyer should know a few crucial things when buying a house. You need to know what the Agreement of Purchase and Sale states because it tells you what you need to do to buy the property. First-time buyers should also know about the Land Transfer Tax, which is due at closing. Most of the time, there is a first-time home buyer rebate that can lower the amount you have to spend by a lot. You can use the rebate to pay the provincial Land Transfer Tax.
What are the benefits of refinancing my mortgage?
Refinancing your mortgage can have a variety of advantages, like reduced monthly payments, getting a cheaper interest rate, combining debt, getting equity for home improvements or other costs, and shortening or lengthening the duration of your loan.
What are the key differences between owning a condominium and a single-family home?
One big difference is that condo owners usually share ownership of common areas and amenities like corridors, elevators, and recreational facilities. On the other hand, single-family homeowners usually own the whole property and land. Condominium owners also have to pay a monthly fee to the condominium organization to help keep the building maintenance up. On the other hand, owning a single-family home means you have complete control over the property, including its maintenance.
Should the buyer and seller have separate real estate lawyers?
Yes, it is required for each party to have their own lawyer while executing the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. This is important to avoid any conflicts of interest or accusations of partiality in the future. If one lawyer represents both sides, there could be legal problems in the future over whether the agreement is lawful.
What is the Land Transfer Tax?
When a homeowner sells their home, they have to pay the Land Transfer Tax (LTT). Most Canadian provinces and territories impose this tax, which varies depending on the property’s price. But in some places, there are some discounts available, especially for people who are buying their first house.
What is the difference between Agreement of Sale and Purchase & Assignment of Agreement of purchase and sale?
When someone buys a house, they sign an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS), which is the first contract between the buyer and seller. It lists all the relevant information, such as the price, deposit, closing date, and conditions. Once both parties sign it, they are legally obligated to finish the purchase. On the other hand, an Assignment of Agreement of Purchase and Sale arises when the original buyer (the assignor) decides not to close on the property themselves. Instead, they convey their rights and duties under the original APS to a new buyer, who is called the assignee. In this case, the new buyer takes over for the last bidder and finally closes the deal with the seller.
What is a commercial lease?
A commercial lease is a legally binding agreement between a landlord and a tenant that lets the tenant use a commercial property (such an office, store, or warehouse) for business activities in exchange for rent.
What is covered by Title Insurance?
Title transfer gives you financial protection from any problems that may come up with the title or ownership of the property. Depending on the policy, the terms and conditions of the coverage may be different. However, a typical Title Insurance policy covers things like unexpected title defects, liens and encumbrances on the property, encroachment and easement problems, zoning violations, building permit or work order problems, and identity theft or fraud. It is important to note that these types of insurance do not cover known title problems, environmental dangers, native land claims, or government rights over the site, as well as zoning issues that happen because of restorations or changes.
What does a real estate lawyer do during a property purchase or sale?
A real estate lawyer reviews your agreement, conducts title searches, handles all legal documents, coordinates with lenders and realtors, and ensures your transaction closes smoothly and securely.
When should I hire a real estate lawyer for my closing?
You should engage a real estate lawyer as soon as you sign the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Early involvement helps prevent contract issues, unexpected costs, and delays.
What is the difference between a real estate closing lawyer and a realtor?
A realtor helps you find and negotiate a property, while a real estate closing lawyer handles the legal aspects, protects your rights, reviews contracts, verifies the title, manages funds, and completes the closing.
What documents do I need to provide to my real estate lawyer?
Typically, you will need the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, mortgage instructions (if applicable), identification, a condo status certificate, and any amendments or disclosures related to the property.
How much does a real estate lawyer cost for a closing?
Fees vary depending on the type of transaction (purchase, sale, refinance) and property complexity. Many firms offer fixed closing costs with transparent pricing.
Do I need a real estate lawyer for a refinance?
Yes. A real estate lawyer coordinates with your lender, reviews mortgage instructions, registers the new mortgage, and ensures all financial and title-related details are properly handled. Our real estate lawyers offer services in Mississauga, Brampton and across Ontario for refinance.
What issues can a real estate lawyer help me avoid?
A lawyer can identify title defects, liens, zoning problems, boundary disputes, contract errors, hidden charges, and risks that could delay or jeopardize the transaction. We offer real estate law services in Brampton, Mississauga and across Ontario.
Can a real estate lawyer help with commercial property transactions?
Absolutely. Real estate lawyers assist with commercial purchases, leasing agreements, financing, due diligence, compliance checks, and complex multi-party transactions.
What is a title search, and why is it important?
A title search confirms property ownership, checks for liens or encumbrances, verifies legal boundaries, and ensures there are no issues that could affect your ownership or financing.
How long does a real estate closing take?
Most residential closings take 30–90 days from the date the offer is accepted. Commercial closings may require additional due diligence and can take longer depending on the transaction complexity.
