Alberton is a township of 954 people in the Rainy River census division. A township that size has few real estate transactions in a given year, but each gets the same process, flat fee, and legal standard as any file we handle.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Alberton-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Alberton properties are registered through the Rainy River Land Registry Office (LRO #48); filing itself is completed electronically through the province's ONLAND system, keeping the process consistent no matter how far the property is from a courthouse.
You don’t “set up” property tax — we prorate it. The statement of adjustments credits whoever prepaid; after closing, the municipality bills you directly and you can enrol in pre-authorized payments.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
Buyers in Alberton pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only — there's no municipal land transfer tax layered on, a distinction that belongs to Toronto alone. We build your provincial LTT figure into the cost breakdown we send at the start of your file, and we check eligibility for any first-time buyer rebate. StatCan's 2021 data shows 355 private dwellings in Alberton, of which 340 were occupied by usual residents; we report both counts as given. Our purchase service is $1,354.87 flat, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements shown separately at cost.
Financing, inspection, status certificate — your offer’s conditions are legal protections, and waiving them is a legal decision. We review before you sign and flag the risks in plain language.
Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.
Selling an Alberton property means discharging your mortgage from title, replying to the buyer's requisitions, and preparing the statement of adjustments so your net proceeds are ready to release the moment the deal closes. Land transfer tax is a buyer expense and has no effect on a seller's file. Our sale fee is $1,241.87 flat, HST included, regardless of the property's condition or price.
Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.
We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.
Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
Whether it's a new purchase mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage on Alberton property, our Mortgage service is a flat $1,241.87, HST included — covering commitment review, registering the charge on title, and confirming lender conditions before funds are released. One fee applies regardless of lender or mortgage amount.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.
Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.
Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
No — our process runs by phone, email, and e-signature from start to finish, so an Alberton closing doesn't depend on office proximity.
No. Alberton buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only; Toronto is the only Ontario municipality with an additional municipal land transfer tax.
Land transfer tax, optional title insurance, and disbursements — costs paid to the government or third parties that we list separately from our legal fee.
At the Rainy River Land Registry Office, LRO #48, filed electronically through ONLAND as part of our flat fee — no add-on for registration.
