№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

The Malahide-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.

Registration & logistics

Malahide is covered by the Elgin Land Registry Office, LRO #11, which registers title transfers electronically under Ontario's system. Since our process is already online end to end, that electronic filing step is simply one more piece that runs the way our firm already operates.

Property taxes at closing

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.

Closing entirely online

ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.

№ 02Buying in Malahide

What Malahide buyers should know

Malahide is an Elgin County township of about 9,308 people, and buying there means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax with nothing extra added at the municipal level. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, which pays for title review, mortgage instruction work, and preparing the documents needed to close. Land transfer tax and disbursements — things like search fees and courier charges — are billed apart from that fee, at their actual cost, so the price you're quoted for legal services is the price that holds. Whether the property sits near Aylmer or further out in the township, the fee and the process are identical.

Before you waive conditions

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.

Pre-construction & assignments

Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.

№ 03Selling in Malahide

Clean title, clean payout

For a Malahide sale, our job is discharging the existing mortgage from title, answering the buyer's requisitions, and paying out your proceeds once the deal closes. Since land transfer tax is charged to buyers, it doesn't touch what a seller pays us. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and we send updates at the points in your file that actually matter.

No land transfer tax

Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.

Discharge handled

We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.

Same-day proceeds

Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.

№ 04Mortgages in Malahide

One flat fee, every mortgage

New mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Malahide property all fall under our Mortgage service, priced at a flat $1,241.87, HST included. Before closing, we verify that your lender's conditions are satisfied and get the mortgage ready to register, so there's nothing left unresolved on the day funds are due. The fee is the same across all three mortgage types.

New mortgage

A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

Refinance

Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.

Private mortgage

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

Malahide closing questions

Trying to find a real estate lawyer near Malahide?

Our office is in Mississauga rather than Malahide, but we work with clients online — phone calls, email, and digital signatures replace any need to come into a branch.

Do Malahide buyers pay a municipal land transfer tax?

No. The only land transfer tax owed on a Malahide purchase is Ontario's provincial tax; the township adds nothing on top of it.

Is the flat fee the full amount I'll pay?

The flat fee, HST included, covers our legal work. Land transfer tax and disbursements sit outside it, charged at cost and shown as their own line items.

What land registry office is responsible for Malahide?

Malahide falls under the Elgin Land Registry Office, LRO #11, and registers electronically through Ontario's system.
