№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Registration in the City of Brant happens electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) at the Brant Land Registry Office (LRO #2), which lines up directly with how our online process is built to operate.

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 Brant

What Brant buyers should know

Buyers in the City of Brant pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, since Brant doesn't impose a municipal land transfer tax on top of it. We work your provincial LTT estimate into your closing cost breakdown right away and flag any rebate you might qualify for. Brant is home to roughly 39,474 people, and whatever style of home you're closing on — detached, semi, or townhome — the same flat fee and single-tax approach carries through your whole file, so there's nothing hidden waiting for you at closing.

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 Brant

Clean title, clean payout

Selling property in the City of Brant means we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and get your proceeds released promptly once closing happens. Land transfer tax belongs to the buyer, not the seller, so it plays no part in your file. We stay in touch at every stage so closing day is straightforward.

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 Brant

One flat fee, every mortgage

Purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against City of Brant property are all handled through our Mortgage service for a single flat rate, HST included. Once your lender sends the commitment letter, we prepare the charge, get it registered on title, and confirm every condition before funds move — the fee doesn't shift based on which of the three you need.

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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Brant closing questions

Looking for a real estate lawyer near you in Brant?

You won't need to track down a local Brant office — our process, from document review through signing to closing, is handled online and by phone, so you get complete service wherever you are in the city.

Does the City of Brant charge a municipal land transfer tax?

No. Brant isn't Toronto, so the only land transfer tax you'll pay as a buyer is the provincial one — there's no municipal add-on.

Does your flat fee cover everything?

HST is baked into our flat fee, yes — but the provincial land transfer tax and, if you want it, title insurance are priced on their own. That split is what lets you see legal cost versus government or third-party cost at a glance.

Where do Brant property registrations happen?

Brant properties register at the Brant Land Registry Office (LRO #2), filed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) — that's built into your flat fee.

What's the typical closing timeline for a Brant file?

We begin title review, mortgage instructions, and closing documents the moment you retain us, aiming to hold to the closing date already written into your agreement of purchase and sale.
