Brethour, a Timiskaming District township of 105 people, closes real estate under the same flat, HST-included fee and the same phone-and-email closing process we use across the province, no matter how small the township is.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.

The Brethour-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Brethour's registry of record is the Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54. The registry doesn't distinguish between a township of a hundred people and a city of a million, and filing is electronic either way.
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.
Buying property in Brethour means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, with no municipal charge added. The 2021 Census recorded 105 residents in Brethour, across 48 private dwellings, 38 of which were occupied by usual residents — a genuinely small housing base. We charge the same flat $1,354.87, HST included, for a Brethour purchase as we would for a file in a much larger municipality, with land transfer tax and disbursements itemized 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.
A Brethour sale follows the standard process: mortgage discharge, handling requisitions from the buyer's lawyer, and releasing your proceeds once closing funds are confirmed, for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. Since land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, it doesn't factor into what a Brethour seller pays us.
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.
Our Mortgage service — new mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations — applies to Brethour properties at a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We review the lender's commitment letter, prepare the charge, and register it so your funds are ready right on the closing date, every time, no matter which of the three applies.
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.
