№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

We file Mattawa registrations electronically through ONLAND, routed to the Nipissing Land Registry Office (LRO #36) — the same office that handles closings across the district. That filing is included in your flat fee.

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 Mattawa

What Mattawa buyers should know

Buying in Mattawa means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no municipal equivalent — a number we calculate and include in your closing cost estimate from the outset. The town recorded a population of about 1,881 at the 2021 census within the Nipissing census division, with 929 private dwellings on file and 857 occupied by usual residents. That's a small transaction market by big-city standards, but the paperwork — agreement review, title search, mortgage instructions — is identical to what we'd do for a much larger city, at the same flat price.

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 Mattawa

Clean title, clean payout

Selling your Mattawa property means we discharge any existing mortgage from title, respond promptly to the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds as soon as closing funds clear. As the seller, land transfer tax isn't your cost to carry — that falls on the buyer. We send updates by email throughout so you always know where your file stands.

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 Mattawa

One flat fee, every mortgage

Our Mortgage service covers new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Mattawa properties for one flat, HST-included fee. We confirm your lender's commitment letter, register the charge on title, and clear any outstanding conditions before funds are released. The fee is the same no matter which of the three applies to you.

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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Mattawa closing questions

Is there a real estate lawyer who actually works with Mattawa files?

Yes — we take on Mattawa closings regularly, and because our process runs by phone, email, and e-signature, you don't need a lawyer with a storefront in town.

Does Mattawa add its own land transfer tax on top of Ontario's?

No extra tax applies in Mattawa. That kind of municipal add-on exists only in Toronto; here, buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing else.

What does your flat fee actually cover?

It covers our legal fee for the file, HST included. Costs like land transfer tax and optional title insurance are separate, government or third-party charges, and we itemize them so nothing is buried in the total.

Which land registry office registers Mattawa transactions?

The Nipissing Land Registry Office, LRO #36, registers Mattawa properties, with filing completed electronically through ONLAND as part of your flat fee.

Can my Mattawa closing still happen on the date in my agreement?

Usually, yes. As soon as you retain us we get started on title review and closing documents so the date already set in your agreement of purchase and sale stays on track.
