The East Hawkesbury-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
East Hawkesbury doesn't have its own land registry office; title records for the township are kept in the province's electronic land registration system rather than at a standalone counter, which is a natural fit for a legal process we already run entirely online.
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.
There's no municipal land transfer tax in East Hawkesbury; that charge applies solely within Toronto, so buyers here owe only the provincial rate. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements broken out separately so you know exactly what each dollar covers. The 2021 census put East Hawkesbury's population at 3,418, across 1,507 total private dwellings, of which 1,425 were occupied by usual residents. That's a tighter gap between total and occupied dwellings than some neighbouring townships, though StatCan doesn't attribute a reason to the difference. Whatever the property type, closings proceed the same way.
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 East Hawkesbury means the same conveyancing steps as anywhere else in Ontario: discharging your mortgage from title, dealing with the buyer's requisitions, and releasing your proceeds once closing is confirmed. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and since land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, it never appears on a seller's statement of adjustments.
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 East Hawkesbury property are all handled for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We confirm your lender's conditions, prepare the charge for registration, and make sure everything's in order before funds are released. That fixed amount holds whether it's a first mortgage, a renewal-related refinance, or a private lender's registration.
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.
