Burpee and Mills is a Manitoulin Island township of about 382 residents. A real estate closing here isn't scaled down or handled differently from a big-city file — same flat fee, same HST-included pricing, same phone-email-e-signature process from start to close.
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.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Burpee and Mills-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Title in Burpee and Mills is registered at the Manitoulin Land Registry Office, LRO #31, and filings go through Ontario's electronic ONLAND system. That's why document review, signing, and closing can be completed by phone, email, and e-signature.
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.
Purchasing property in Burpee and Mills means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, full stop — there's no added municipal land transfer tax the way there is inside Toronto's city limits. That provincial LTT amount gets built into your closing cost estimate early, and we'll tell you if a first-time buyer rebate applies to your file. StatCan's 2021 count recorded 292 total private dwellings in the township, with 167 occupied by their usual residents, a split common to island and cottage-country communities where a meaningful share of housing is seasonal. Whether you're closing on a year-round house or a seasonal property, our fee and process are identical.
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 in Burpee and Mills follows Ontario's standard closing sequence: we clear any existing mortgage off title, deal with the buyer's requisitions, and get your net proceeds calculated and released the day funds arrive. Because land transfer tax is the buyer's responsibility, it never factors into what you net as a seller. We update you as each step of the file is completed, not just at the finish line.
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.
New mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Burpee and Mills title are all handled under our Mortgage service for one flat, HST-included fee. We go through your commitment letter, register the charge on title, and make sure your lender's conditions are cleared before your funding date arrives. The fee is the same whether the mortgage is new, a refinance, or a private arrangement.
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.
Yes — we work Burpee and Mills files at the same flat fee and with the same phone-and-e-signature process we use everywhere in Ontario, no matter how small the township.
No. Among Ontario municipalities, Toronto is the only one that layers its own land transfer tax on top of the provincial one; Burpee and Mills buyers pay only the provincial tax.
It covers our legal work and includes HST. Government charges — land transfer tax, registration costs, optional title insurance — are itemized separately at cost, so nothing is buried in the number we quote.
Burpee and Mills falls under the Manitoulin Land Registry Office (LRO #31). We register electronically through ONLAND as part of your flat fee.
We aim to hold whatever closing date is set in your agreement of purchase and sale. Title review, mortgage instructions, and closing documents start the moment you retain us.
