Latchford is a small town in the Timiskaming census division with a population of about 355. It's a low-volume real estate market, but our fee, our HST-inclusive pricing, and our phone-and-e-signature closing process don't scale down with the town's size.
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.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Latchford-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Latchford falls under the Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54, and registrations there are filed electronically through Ontario's ONLAND system. That's what lets document review, signing, and closing run entirely by phone, email, and e-signature.
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 in Latchford involves Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no additional municipal levy — the extra tax layer applies specifically inside Toronto, not in a town like Latchford. That provincial LTT figure is built into your closing cost breakdown from the start, along with any first-time buyer rebate you may qualify for. The 2021 census counted 206 total private dwellings in Latchford, of which 169 were occupied by usual residents — a fairly high proportion, suggesting most of the town's housing stock functions as year-round homes rather than seasonal properties. Either way, the process and price we quote stay consistent.
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.
A Latchford sale runs through Ontario's standard closing steps: discharging any mortgage from title, answering the buyer's requisitions, and calculating and releasing your net proceeds once closing funds arrive. Because land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, it doesn't affect your payout as seller in any way. We keep you informed as your file progresses so there's no scramble at the finish.
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 mortgages registered on Latchford title are all handled under our Mortgage service for a single flat, HST-included fee. We review your commitment letter carefully, register the charge, and confirm your lender's conditions are cleared before funding is due. The fee holds steady whether the mortgage is new, refinanced, or private.
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.

Yes — we take on Latchford files at the same flat fee and process as any Ontario file, closing by phone and e-signature rather than requiring an in-person visit.
No. Only Toronto adds a municipal land transfer tax on top of the provincial one; Latchford buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax and nothing more.
It covers our legal work and includes HST. Land transfer tax, registration charges, and optional title insurance are separate, at-cost items listed clearly on your statement.
Latchford is under the Timiskaming Land Registry Office (LRO #54). We file electronically through ONLAND as part of your flat fee.
