№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

The Bonfield-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.

Registration & logistics

We file Bonfield closings at the Nipissing Land Registry Office (LRO #36) electronically through ONLAND (Teraview), the standard registration path throughout the Nipissing district.

Property taxes at closing

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.

Closing entirely online

ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.

№ 02Buying in Bonfield

What Bonfield buyers should know

Buyers closing on a Bonfield property pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, since the township has no municipal transfer tax of its own. The 2021 Census counted 1,080 private dwellings in Bonfield, with 889 occupied by usual residents. Registration happens at the Nipissing Land Registry Office (LRO #36), filed electronically through ONLAND. We combine the provincial LTT estimate, any rebate you might qualify for, and our flat legal fee into one closing cost breakdown before you're asked to commit.

Before you waive conditions

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.

Pre-construction & assignments

Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.

Learn before you close

№ 03Selling in Bonfield

Clean title, clean payout

Selling in Bonfield follows the same steps as any Ontario file with us: discharging the existing mortgage from title, handling the buyer's requisitions, and calculating and releasing your net proceeds on closing day. Land transfer tax falls to the buyer, not the seller, so it won't touch your bottom line. We check in with you at each stage of a Bonfield closing.

No land transfer tax

Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.

Discharge handled

We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.

Same-day proceeds

Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.

№ 04Mortgages in Bonfield

One flat fee, every mortgage

Our Mortgage service handles new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against Bonfield properties, all for the same flat, HST-included fee. We compare the commitment letter to the closing file, register the charge at the Nipissing Land Registry Office, and confirm the lender's conditions are met before funds move. New, refinance, or private — the fee doesn't change.

New mortgage

A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

Refinance

Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.

Private mortgage

Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
