Haldimand is a single-tier City within the Haldimand-Norfolk census division, home to about 49,216 people, and we serve buyers, sellers, and owners there with flat-fee, fully online real estate law. One HST-included price applies to every purchase, sale, or mortgage file.
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 Haldimand-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Haldimand properties register at the Haldimand Land Registry Office (LRO #18), with filing completed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) — the same electronic process our online practice relies on.
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.
Buyers in Haldimand pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only — Toronto is the sole municipality in the province that layers on an additional municipal tax, and Haldimand isn't it. We calculate a provincial land transfer tax estimate, along with any rebate that might apply, and include it in the closing cost summary we send at the outset of your file. Our purchase fee stays flat at $1,354.87, HST included, whatever kind of home you're closing on; disbursements and the land transfer tax are billed separately, 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.
On a Haldimand sale, we discharge any existing mortgage from title, respond to the requisitions raised by the buyer's lawyer, and prepare the documents needed for closing. As soon as funds are confirmed, we calculate and send your proceeds. Because land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, it has no bearing on a seller's file. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements extra.
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.
For a new purchase mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage registered against Haldimand property, our Mortgage service is a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We review your lender's commitment letter, prepare and register the charge, and confirm the lender's conditions are satisfied so your funds move on schedule.
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.
You don't need to find office parking in Haldimand to work with us — every step, from reviewing your agreement to closing, happens online and by phone.
No. Only Toronto has one in Ontario. Haldimand buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax and nothing extra on the municipal side.
Our flat rate already accounts for HST. What's billed separately are the provincial land transfer tax and, should you want it, title insurance — both shown on their own so nothing is bundled into the legal fee.
Haldimand property files go through the Haldimand Land Registry Office, LRO #18. Registration itself happens electronically, filed via the province's ONLAND (Teraview) system.
It doesn't change our approach. Haldimand is a single-tier City of about 49,216 people, and we run the same flat-fee, fully online process there as we do in every Ontario municipality we serve.
