La Vallee is a Rainy River District township of 788 people, and closing real estate here works the same way it does anywhere in Ontario: a fixed legal fee, HST included, and document review, signing, and closing handled by phone, email, and e-signature.
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 La Vallee-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
La Vallee sits within the Rainy River census division, and title for properties here is registered at the Rainy River Land Registry Office, LRO #48. That office handles registrations electronically, which is why our process doesn't require you to be anywhere near it in person.
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.
Buying property in La Vallee, you pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing else at the municipal level — the township doesn't add a local transfer tax on top of it. Our purchase fee is $1,354.87 flat, HST included, with the provincial LTT and any disbursements itemized separately so you see exactly what's a legal cost versus a government charge. La Vallee counted 379 private dwellings in the 2021 census, of which 319 were occupied by usual residents, in a township of 788 people spread across Rainy River District. Whether your purchase is a modest rural lot or a larger acreage, the fee and the steps we take are identical, and we start title work as soon as you're retained.
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 La Vallee follows the standard playbook: we pull payout instructions to discharge your existing mortgage, respond to the buyer's lawyer on any requisitions, and prepare your closing statement so your net proceeds are ready to release on the agreed date. Land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, so it doesn't factor into your file at all. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, regardless of the property's value or how many owners are on title.
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 new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations in La Vallee, our fee is $1,241.87 flat, HST included, covering our review of your lender's instructions, preparation of the charge, and confirmation that closing conditions are met before funds move. Township properties are treated no differently from a suburban file — same document set, same registration steps, same price.
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 a downtown office to close a La Vallee property. We handle the file by phone, email, and e-signature, so distance from a physical office doesn't slow anything down.
No — La Vallee is a township, not a city with a special charter, so the only land transfer tax owed is Ontario's provincial one. There's no additional local layer to budget for.
It covers our legal work start to finish: reviewing the agreement, handling title and mortgage instructions, and preparing closing documents. Land transfer tax, registration charges, and optional title insurance are shown separately at cost.
Through the Rainy River Land Registry Office, LRO #48. Registration is completed electronically, and we manage that filing as part of your fee.
That's the goal on every file. Once we're retained we begin title review and document preparation right away so the closing date in the agreement holds.
