The North Middlesex-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
North Middlesex properties fall under the Middlesex Land Registry Office, LRO #33. The actual filing is done electronically rather than over the counter, consistent with how we run the file end to end without meeting in person.
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.
As a North Middlesex buyer you'll pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; the municipality doesn't add a transfer tax of its own, a distinction that applies to every Ontario municipality except Toronto. We calculate your provincial LTT before your file opens and flag rebate eligibility where it applies. North Middlesex is home to roughly 6,307 people per the 2021 census, with about 2,481 total private dwellings, of which some 2,391 were occupied by usual residents. Our flat purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, and disbursements plus the land transfer tax itself are billed 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 property in North Middlesex means our office discharges any existing mortgage registered against title, answers requisitions the buyer's lawyer raises, and prepares your statement of adjustments so proceeds are ready to release on closing. Land transfer tax is a buyer expense and doesn't touch a seller's file. The flat sale fee is $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements shown as separate line items.
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.
Purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on North Middlesex properties all move through our Mortgage service under one flat fee. We review the lender's commitment, prepare the charge for registration, and confirm closing conditions are satisfied before funds are released. That fee is $1,241.87, HST included, 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.

No. North Middlesex buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only. A municipal transfer tax only exists in Toronto, nowhere else in Ontario.
It covers our complete legal work, HST included. Costs like land transfer tax and optional title insurance are government or third-party charges, shown separately from our fee so the breakdown stays clear.
