The Pelham-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Pelham falls under electronic registration through Ontario's ONLAND system, with no dedicated in-person land registry counter involved in the filing — a structure that lines up naturally with how we run every 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.
Anyone purchasing a home in the Town of Pelham, within the Niagara region, is responsible for Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing more, because a municipal land transfer tax only exists in Toronto. That provincial amount is worked into your closing cost estimate from day one, alongside a check for any first-time buyer rebate that may apply to your purchase. StatCan's 2021 figures show Pelham had 18,192 residents across roughly 7,123 total private dwellings, 6,959 of which were occupied. Whatever the property type, the legal steps and the flat fee stay exactly the same.
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 list and sell a Pelham property, we handle discharging your current mortgage from title, replying to the buyer's requisitions within the deal's timeline, and putting together a statement of adjustments that lines up with what's actually owed. Land transfer tax is strictly a buyer's cost, so it doesn't touch your side of the transaction at all. Your proceeds go out once the sale has closed and funds have cleared.
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.
For Pelham properties, our Mortgage service covers new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations under a single flat, HST-included rate. We review your lender's commitment letter for anything unusual, prepare the charge for registration, and confirm all conditions are met before we call the file complete. One rate applies no matter which of the three mortgage types 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.
Yes — from the first document review through signing and registration, everything is done by phone, video, and e-signature.
No. Only Toronto has a municipal land transfer tax in Ontario, so Pelham buyers pay the provincial rate only.
The quoted flat fee, HST included, is the full cost of our legal service. You will see land transfer tax, registration, and any optional title insurance broken out on their own so the breakdown stays transparent.
Registration is filed electronically through Ontario's ONLAND system rather than at a physical land registry office; that submission is part of what your flat fee already buys.
You can skip the local-office search entirely — our online process gives Pelham clients the same legal coverage a nearby firm would, without the travel.
Below are official government resources Pelham buyers and sellers can consult to check the details of their transaction directly.
