№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Merrickville-Wolford is one of the villages without a dedicated land registry office of its own; title is recorded through the province's electronic registration system instead, which is the same system our online process already relies on.

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 Merrickville–Wolford

What Merrickville–Wolford buyers should know

Merrickville-Wolford buyers pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax — the municipal version of that tax applies in Toronto and nowhere else in the province. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements shown separately at cost. The 2021 census recorded 3,135 residents in Merrickville-Wolford, across 1,392 total private dwellings, 1,290 of them occupied by usual residents. That same fee and process apply to every purchase file we open here.

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.

Learn before you close

№ 03Selling in Merrickville–Wolford

Clean title, clean payout

A Merrickville-Wolford sale runs through the standard steps: discharging your mortgage from title, responding to requisitions from the buyer's lawyer, and releasing your proceeds once closing is confirmed. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and since land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, it never factors into a seller's file.

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.
