The Perth-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Perth properties fall within the Lanark Land Registry Office, LRO #27. Actual registration happens electronically over the ONLAND/Teraview system rather than by a paper visit, which is part of why our fully online process fits how these files close in practice.
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.
Buying in Perth, Ontario means paying the provincial land transfer tax — there's no added municipal transfer tax layered on top, since Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that charges one. We fold your provincial LTT estimate into the closing cost summary we send before your file even opens, along with any first-time buyer rebate you may be entitled to claim. Perth is a Lanark County town of about 6,469 residents with roughly 3,395 total private dwellings recorded in the 2021 census, of which about 3,271 were occupied by usual residents. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included; disbursements and the land transfer tax itself are billed at cost, itemized on your statement.
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 home in Perth, our office manages the standard closing tasks: paying out and discharging your existing mortgage, answering the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and preparing your final statement of adjustments so your net proceeds are ready on closing day. Land transfer tax is a buyer's obligation, not a seller's, so it won't appear on your sale file. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements itemized separately.
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.
Whether you're closing a new purchase mortgage, refinancing an existing Perth property, or registering a private mortgage between individuals, our Mortgage service reviews the lender's instructions, prepares and registers the charge, and satisfies the conditions the lender needs met before funds release. The fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, the same whether the file is a purchase-money mortgage, a refinance, or a private arrangement.
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.
We don't run a walk-in office in Perth itself, but our lawyers handle Perth closings regularly. Signing, document review, and funds transfer all happen online or by courier, so proximity to a downtown office isn't part of how the file gets done.
No. Only Toronto charges an added municipal land transfer tax in Ontario. Buyers in Perth pay the provincial land transfer tax only.

Perth is registered in the Lanark Land Registry Office, LRO #27, with registration itself processed electronically.
We aim to meet the closing date already set out in your agreement of purchase and sale. Title searches, mortgage instructions, and closing documents start as soon as you retain us.
