Gillies Township, part of the Thunder Bay census division, recorded 441 residents in the 2021 census. Distance from a city centre doesn't change how we work — a flat, HST-included fee and closing by phone, email, and e-signature apply here the same as anywhere.
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 Gillies-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Gillies is registered under the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, with filing done electronically through ONLAND, the platform that handles registration for every property in Ontario, township or city.
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.
A Gillies purchase involves Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no additional municipal charge, since municipal land transfer tax exists in one Ontario city only, nowhere near Thunder Bay District. The 2021 census counted 208 private dwellings in Gillies, with 186 occupied by usual residents at census time — a relatively tight ratio suggesting most housing here is lived in year-round. The purchase fee is flat regardless of that detail: $1,354.87 including HST for title search, document preparation, and closing coordination, with land transfer tax and disbursements shown separately, billed at cost.
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.
For a Gillies sale, we take care of discharging the mortgage, handling the buyer's requisitions, and releasing your proceeds once funds are confirmed on closing — for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. Sellers don't pay land transfer tax under Ontario law, so it has zero effect on your file. We'll give you clear, plain-language updates rather than legal jargon at each stage.
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 against Gillies properties are all handled under our Mortgage service for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We check the lender's commitment letter against the real closing numbers, register the charge, and confirm conditions are met before releasing funds.
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 regularly handle Gillies purchases, sales, and refinances, with the entire process run through phone, email, and e-signature rather than requiring a local visit.
No — only Toronto charges that additional tax. Gillies buyers are responsible for the provincial land transfer tax and nothing more.
The flat fee is our legal work, HST included. Land transfer tax and optional items like title insurance are separately itemized at cost, so the breakdown is clear before you commit.
The Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, with electronic registration through ONLAND handled as part of your flat fee.
