№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

The Northumberland Land Registry Office (LRO #39) is the registering office for Brighton, with electronic filing completed through ONLAND/Teraview — a process well suited to the online way the rest of your file is already managed.

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 Brighton

What Brighton buyers should know

Buyers in Brighton pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no additional municipal tax, since that second layer applies only in Toronto and has no reach into Northumberland County. We include that provincial figure in your upfront estimate and check for a first-time buyer rebate as part of your file. Brighton's population sits around 12,108 across roughly 5,392 private dwellings, and our fixed-price process applies the same way to a retirement bungalow as it does to a young family's first home. The purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, with the land transfer tax and disbursements shown separately, billed at their actual cost.

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.

№ 03Selling in Brighton

Clean title, clean payout

Selling a Brighton property, we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds promptly once the deal closes. Since land transfer tax falls to the buyer under Ontario law, a seller's file is never affected by it. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and we keep you informed at each stage so closing proceeds without complications.

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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Brighton closing questions

Need a real estate lawyer who covers Brighton?

No office visit necessary — document review, signing arrangements, and closing coordination happen online and by phone, so a Brighton file gets the same complete service as one anywhere else.

Does Brighton charge a municipal land transfer tax?

No — that extra tax is unique to Toronto within Ontario. Brighton buyers pay only the provincial land transfer tax.

Is your flat fee the total I'll pay?

It includes HST already. Government amounts such as the provincial land transfer tax and optional extras like title insurance are itemized on their own, separate from our legal fee.

Where do Brighton properties register?

At the Northumberland Land Registry Office, LRO #39, through the province's electronic ONLAND system — that step is included in your flat fee.

How soon does work start once I retain you for a Brighton file?

Right away — we begin title searches and closing document preparation immediately, staying in contact with your lender to keep your closing date on track.
