Newbury is a village in Middlesex County, with a 2021 population of 440. As a lower-tier municipality within Middlesex, Newbury still closes real estate files the same way we handle every Ontario property: flat fee, HST included, by phone, email, and e-signature.
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 Newbury-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Newbury properties register under the Middlesex Land Registry Office, LRO #33, filed electronically through ONLAND — the province-wide system that treats a village file the same as a city one.
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 in Newbury pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; the additional municipal land transfer tax some buyers ask about is specific to Toronto and has no application in Middlesex County. StatCan counted 195 total private dwellings in Newbury for 2021, with 187 occupied by usual residents — a small gap that points to most Newbury housing being lived in full-time rather than left vacant. A Newbury purchase is billed at a flat $1,354.87, HST included, for title review, closing preparation, and lender coordination, with land transfer tax and disbursements 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.
Selling in Newbury, we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to buyer-side requisitions, and release your net proceeds once closing funds are confirmed — for a flat $1,241.87, HST included, regardless of sale price. Land transfer tax is strictly a buyer's cost, so it plays no part in a seller's file. Expect regular updates from us at each step of the process.
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 purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Newbury properties are all handled through our Mortgage service for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We reconcile your lender's commitment letter with actual closing figures, register the charge on title, and confirm conditions are satisfied before funds move.
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.
Yes — Newbury purchases, sales, and refinances are handled the same as any file we take on, with everything done by phone, email, and e-signature.
No. Toronto is the only Ontario municipality with that extra tax. Newbury buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing more.
Government costs such as land transfer tax, plus optional items like title insurance, are itemized separately at cost — the flat fee is strictly our legal work, HST already included.
The Middlesex Land Registry Office, LRO #33, with electronic filing through ONLAND, included as part of your flat fee.
Not in terms of legal steps. Newbury's population was 440 at the 2021 census, so it's a lower-volume market, but the title search, document prep, and closing process are the same as anywhere else in Ontario.
