№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Cambridge properties register through the Waterloo North Land Registry Office (LRO #58), with the registration itself completed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) — the exact setup our online process is built around.

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 Cambridge

What Cambridge buyers should know

Cambridge is a City in Waterloo Region with roughly 138,479 residents as of the 2021 census, and buyers here pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, since Toronto remains the sole Ontario municipality that adds a municipal land transfer tax. We charge a flat $1,354.87 for a purchase, HST included, across every property type, and your provincial LTT estimate is included in your closing cost breakdown from the outset. Where a first-time buyer rebate applies, it's flagged as part of that review, so nothing gets missed. Title search, mortgage instructions, and signing all happen online, so a Cambridge closing runs at the same pace throughout Waterloo Region.

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 Cambridge

Clean title, clean payout

A Cambridge sale is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, covering discharge of your mortgage, responses to the buyer's requisitions, and prompt release of your proceeds on closing. As land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, it never touches a seller's file. We keep sellers across Waterloo Region informed at every step, from retainer to the funds landing in your account, so closing day goes as planned.

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.

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.

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