The Renfrew-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Renfrew properties are recorded at the Renfrew Land Registry Office, LRO #49, and registrations are submitted electronically rather than filed on paper in person. Our closings are structured around that electronic step already, so it doesn't add time to your file.
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.
The Town of Renfrew, seat of Renfrew County, applies only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax to purchases — there's no municipal tax layered in. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, covering the title search, requisitions, and closing work. Census figures from 2021 show Renfrew's population at 8,190, with 4,117 total private dwellings recorded and 3,954 of those occupied by usual residents. Your provincial LTT estimate and any rebate you may be eligible for are worked into your quote before your file starts.
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 Renfrew follows the standard Ontario steps: your existing mortgage is discharged from title, we respond to requisitions from the buyer's side, and your net proceeds are released once the sale closes. The sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements billed at cost. Because land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, it has no effect on what you receive as seller.
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.
New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages on Renfrew properties are all covered by our flat $1,241.87 fee, HST included. We verify the lender's commitment terms, prepare the mortgage document, register the charge, and confirm conditions are met so funds flow on time. The fee stays the same across all three mortgage types.
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.
There isn't a meaningful one for legal work like this. We act for Renfrew clients online, and your file gets the same review, timelines, and attention as an in-person closing would.
No. Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that adds a separate municipal land transfer tax; Renfrew buyers pay the provincial tax only.
The flat fee is for our legal work and includes HST. Government charges — provincial land transfer tax, registration fees, and title insurance if you want it — are itemized separately at their actual cost.
Renfrew properties register at the Renfrew Land Registry Office, LRO #49, through Ontario's electronic filing system.
That's what we work toward on every file. We start title and mortgage steps as soon as you retain us, which protects the date already in your agreement.
