The Amherstburg-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Amherstburg properties sit with the Essex Land Registry Office, LRO #12, where registrations are lodged electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) rather than presented over a counter — the same electronic path our online process relies on.
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 Amherstburg pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, since municipal land transfer tax in this province is specific to Toronto and doesn't apply here. Purchasing in Amherstburg costs $1,354.87 flat with us, HST included, covering our review of the agreement, the title search, and preparation of closing documents. Land transfer tax and disbursements are billed separately at cost and itemized on your statement. Amherstburg's population was 23,524 in the 2021 census, and the flat fee holds regardless of the type of property you're purchasing there.
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.
On a sale, we clear the existing mortgage from title, deal with the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and make sure your proceeds reach you once everything is finalized. Land transfer tax applies to the buyer, not the seller, so it doesn't factor into your costs. Our price for a sale is $1,241.87 flat, HST included, and disbursements come billed at cost, itemized on their own. We manage the process online and update you as the file progresses.
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.
Mortgage registrations on Amherstburg properties — new, refinance, or private — run $1,241.87 flat with us, HST included. We handle the lender's commitment letter — checking off its conditions — and take care of registering the charge on your property. Disbursements are billed at cost, itemized separately from our fee.
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.
You don't need to track down an office in Amherstburg — we work with clients there entirely by phone, email, and online document signing.
No, there isn't one in Amherstburg. Ontario's municipal land transfer tax is confined to Toronto, so Amherstburg buyers pay the provincial rate.
