№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

The Quinte West-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.

Registration & logistics

Quinte West properties are registered at the Hastings Land Registry Office (LRO #21), and the actual filing takes place electronically through ONLAND (Teraview), which is why our online process fits how these closings are actually handled.

Property taxes at closing

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.

Closing entirely online

ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.

№ 02Buying in Quinte West

What Quinte West buyers should know

Quinte West buyers are subject to Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, since a municipal land transfer tax exists nowhere in the province except Toronto. We factor that provincial tax estimate — plus any rebate you might qualify for — into the closing cost summary you receive at the start of your file. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, whatever the property type; disbursements and land transfer tax are billed separately, at cost.

Before you waive conditions

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.

Pre-construction & assignments

Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.

Learn before you close

№ 03Selling in Quinte West

Clean title, clean payout

When you sell in Quinte West, we take care of discharging your existing mortgage, responding to the requisitions the buyer's lawyer raises, and preparing the documents needed to transfer title. Your net proceeds are calculated and released promptly once the closing funds are confirmed. Land transfer tax is the buyer's responsibility, not yours, so it plays no role in a seller's file. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included.

No land transfer tax

Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.

Discharge handled

We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.

Same-day proceeds

Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
