A Prescott closing with our firm never requires a physical meeting — purchases, sales, and refinances all move through document review, signing, and registration online, priced at a single flat fee with HST included.
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.

The Prescott-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Prescott doesn't have its own physical land registry office; property here registers electronically through the province's ONLAND and Teraview system, which matches our online closing process directly.
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.
Prescott is a single-tier town in the Leeds and Grenville census division, and because Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that charges a municipal land transfer tax, Prescott buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax alone. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, covering title review, closing preparation, and registration; the land transfer tax and disbursements are calculated separately and itemized. The 2021 census recorded a population of 4,078 and 1,993 total private dwellings, with 1,889 occupied by usual residents. The same flat fee applies to a house, a townhome, or a smaller condominium unit.
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 Prescott follows the same steps we use on every file: we discharge any mortgage registered against the property, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your proceeds once closing funds are confirmed. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price. Land transfer tax is the buyer's obligation, not yours, so it doesn't show up on your closing statement, and we keep you posted as the file progresses.
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.
Our Mortgage service covers new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against Prescott property, all for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We check your lender's commitment letter, prepare and register the charge, and confirm closing conditions are met before funds move. The fee is the same regardless of mortgage type.
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.
No. Our Prescott closings are handled entirely online — review, signing, and registration all happen online, so there's no local office to visit.
No. Municipal land transfer tax is charged in Toronto and nowhere else in Ontario, so Prescott buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only.
Our flat fee, HST included, is the complete legal charge — nothing more on that side. The provincial land transfer tax, disbursements, and optional title insurance sit apart from it and are itemized individually.
Prescott property registers electronically through Ontario's ONLAND and Teraview system rather than at a standalone local office, and our team manages that filing directly.
The 2021 census recorded 1,993 total private dwellings in Prescott, with 1,889 occupied by usual residents at the time of the count.
