We close Dutton/Dunwich purchases, sales, and refinances the same way every time: entirely online, with a single flat fee that includes HST, so you know the full legal cost before your file even opens.
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 Dutton/Dunwich-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
The Elgin Land Registry Office, LRO #11, holds jurisdiction over Dutton/Dunwich, with electronic filing the norm for every closing we run there on the municipality's behalf.
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.
Dutton/Dunwich is a municipality in Elgin County, and since Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that levies a municipal land transfer tax, buyers here owe the provincial land transfer tax only. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, for title review, closing document preparation, and registration; the provincial land transfer tax and disbursements are calculated and shown separately before closing. The 2021 census recorded 4,152 residents and 1,677 total private dwellings, with 1,596 occupied by usual residents. That flat pricing carries through no matter what type of home is changing hands in Dutton/Dunwich.
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 Dutton/Dunwich property means we discharge any existing mortgage, respond to requisitions from the buyer's lawyer, and release your proceeds once the closing funds have cleared. The sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price. Land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, not a seller's, so it doesn't factor into your file, and we update you at each stage of closing.
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.
