The Hastings Highlands-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Hastings Highlands registrations land with the Hastings Land Registry Office, LRO #21, filed electronically the same way we handle every file in the county.
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.
Hastings Highlands is a municipality within Hastings County, and buyers closing here pay only the provincial land transfer tax — a municipal land transfer tax applies solely in Toronto. Our purchase service is priced flat at $1,354.87, HST included, for title review, closing preparation, and registration; the land transfer tax and disbursements are itemized separately from that fee. The 2021 census recorded a population of 4,385 and 3,529 total private dwellings, with 2,007 of those occupied by usual residents — StatCan reports the counts as distinct, and we don't speculate on the difference. The fee and process stay consistent regardless of property type.
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 Hastings Highlands follows our standard process: we discharge any registered mortgage, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once closing funds are confirmed. The sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, regardless of price. Land transfer tax is a cost the buyer bears, not the seller, so it never shows up on your side of the ledger, and we keep you informed 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 purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Hastings Highlands property are all handled through our Mortgage service for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We review your lender's commitment letter, prepare and register the mortgage, and confirm all closing conditions are met before funds are released. The fee stays the same across mortgage types.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

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