The The Nation-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
There's no dedicated land registry office assigned to The Nation — registration happens electronically through the ONLAND (Teraview) platform used across the province, which lines up naturally with how we already manage your file online.
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.
Buyers closing in The Nation pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and stop there — the additional municipal tax buyers sometimes ask about only applies in Toronto, so it has no bearing on a Prescott and Russell purchase. We include that provincial number in your cost estimate from day one and check whether a first-time buyer rebate applies to your file. The Nation counts roughly 13,350 residents living in about 5,259 private dwellings, and we apply the identical flat-fee process from a rural acreage to a village lot. Our purchase fee sits at $1,354.87, HST included, with disbursements and the land transfer tax charged on top, 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 a property in The Nation, we take care of discharging the existing mortgage, dealing with requisitions the buyer's lawyer sends over, and getting your proceeds to you as soon as the deal funds. Since land transfer tax is paid by buyers under Ontario law, it doesn't touch a seller's file at all. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and we check in with you regularly so nothing about closing catches you off guard.
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 Nation properties all run through the same flat $1,241.87 fee, HST included. We review the commitment letter your lender sends, get the charge registered on title, and confirm outstanding conditions are satisfied before your funds are released. It's one consistent process no matter which of the three you need.
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 office to locate in person — we work through document review, digital signing, and phone updates so a file in The Nation gets handled just as thoroughly as one anywhere else in the province.
