Laurentian Hills is a town of roughly 2,900 people along the Ottawa River in Renfrew County. Real estate here runs on the same flat, HST-included fee as any Ontario file — one price for a purchase, a sale, or a mortgage — and the work is done 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.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Laurentian Hills-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Laurentian Hills falls under the Renfrew Land Registry Office (LRO #49). As with every Ontario registry, filings go in electronically through ONLAND/Teraview, which is how our online process lines up with how the county's title system actually operates.
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 purchase in Laurentian Hills carries Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no municipal add-on — that extra layer exists only in Toronto, so buyers elsewhere in the province, including here, pay the provincial rate by itself. We build the LTT estimate into your upfront cost breakdown and flag any rebate you might be eligible for. StatCan's 2021 census recorded 1,393 private dwellings in the town, with 1,251 occupied by usual residents, putting Laurentian Hills toward the more settled end of Renfrew County's smaller municipalities. Purchase price and property type don't move our fee — it's flat whether you're closing on a modest bungalow or a riverfront lot.
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 sale in Laurentian Hills, we handle the standard closing mechanics: discharging your existing mortgage, answering the buyer's requisitions on title, and paying out your proceeds once funds are confirmed. Because land transfer tax is a buyer-side cost, it has no effect on what a seller pays us or the province. You'll get status updates at each stage of the file rather than radio silence until closing day.
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.
Purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Laurentian Hills properties are billed under one flat, HST-included Mortgage fee. We match your lender's commitment letter to the file, register the charge, and confirm conditions are cleared so your funds are ready on schedule. The fee is the same regardless of lender or mortgage type.
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.
There's no need to track down a local law office in Laurentian Hills — we handle document review, signing, and closing by phone and email, so the town's distance from a major city doesn't add a step.
No. Laurentian Hills doesn't levy its own land transfer tax; only Toronto does that, so buyers here pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing extra.
The quoted flat fee includes HST. Costs like provincial land transfer tax and optional title insurance are shown separately, itemized, so you can see exactly what's legal fee and what's a government or third-party charge.
Title for Laurentian Hills properties sits with the Renfrew Land Registry Office (LRO #49), and registration is filed electronically through ONLAND/Teraview as part of your flat fee.
We work to the closing date set out in your agreement of purchase and sale. Once you retain us, title review, mortgage instructions, and closing documents start right away so that date is protected.
