Brooke-Alvinston is a municipality of about 2,359 people in Lambton County, southwestern Ontario. Closing here — a purchase, a sale, or a refinance — runs through our standard flat-fee process, HST included.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.

The Brooke-Alvinston-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Deals in Brooke-Alvinston are registered at the Lambton Land Registry Office (LRO #25), submitted electronically through ONLAND (Teraview), the same system used across Lambton County.
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 Brooke-Alvinston pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing at the municipal level, since the municipality doesn't levy its own transfer tax. StatCan's 2021 Census counted 983 private dwellings in Brooke-Alvinston, with 918 occupied by usual residents — a tight, largely owner-occupied housing stock. Registration takes place at the Lambton Land Registry Office (LRO #25) via ONLAND's electronic system. We roll the provincial LTT estimate, any rebate you might qualify for, and our flat legal fee into a single closing cost breakdown up front.
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.
Selling a Brooke-Alvinston property follows Ontario's usual legal steps: we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and calculate and release your net proceeds on closing day. Land transfer tax is the buyer's responsibility, not yours, so it doesn't appear on your statement of adjustments. We keep sellers in the loop at every stage of the file.
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 covers new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Brooke-Alvinston properties, all for the same flat, HST-included fee. We compare your commitment letter against the closing file, register the charge at the Lambton Land Registry Office, and confirm the lender's conditions are met before funds move. New, refinance, or private — one price, one process.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

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