With roughly 268 residents, Matachewan in the Timiskaming District closes real estate files the same way we handle any Ontario property: a flat fee, HST included, and a process that runs by phone, email, and e-signature rather than in person.
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 Matachewan-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Matachewan falls under the Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54, and registration there happens electronically, the same as every township in this district.
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 Matachewan purchase carries Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing more — the township doesn't add a municipal transfer tax the way Toronto does. The 2021 Census counted 268 people living in Matachewan, across 202 private dwellings, with 134 of those occupied by usual residents; the gap suggests a fair number of seasonal or secondary properties in the mix. Regardless of how many transactions close here in a given year, our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, with disbursements and the land transfer tax itemized separately at cost.
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.
When you sell in Matachewan, we handle the mortgage discharge, respond to requisitions from the buyer's side, and get your net proceeds released on closing — the same sequence we follow on every Ontario sale. Our sale fee is $1,241.87 flat, HST included. Land transfer tax is charged to the buyer, so it has no effect on your payout.
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 mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Matachewan properties are all handled under our Mortgage service for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We confirm your lender's commitment terms, prepare the charge, and register it so your funds advance on schedule, no matter which of the three mortgage types applies.
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.
No — our office is in Mississauga, and a Matachewan file is handled by phone, email, and e-signature from start to finish, so there's no local office to visit either way.
No additional charge applies beyond Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; Matachewan doesn't levy a municipal version.
The flat fee is our legal fee for the whole transaction. Land transfer tax, registration costs, and optional title insurance are separate, at-cost items shown on your closing statement.
Through the Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54, using Ontario's electronic registration system — we file it as part of your flat fee.
Not really. At around 268 residents, Matachewan is a small market, but the legal steps — title search, closing, registration — are identical to a file in a much larger municipality.
