The Richmond Hill-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Property registration for Richmond Hill runs through the York Region Land Registry Office (LRO #65), and like the rest of Ontario, filings are completed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) rather than by paper at a counter — which lines up naturally with how we handle 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.
Richmond Hill is a City in York Region, with a 2021 census population of about 202,022, and it sits in the same single-tax bracket as the rest of Ontario outside Toronto: buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only, with no municipal land transfer tax added. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, regardless of price or property type, and we build the provincial LTT estimate into your closing cost breakdown from day one. Any first-time buyer rebate you may be eligible for is flagged and applied where it fits. From the initial title search through to signing, the file is handled online, keeping a York Region closing straightforward.
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 Richmond Hill costs a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and covers the standard steps of an Ontario sale: discharging your existing mortgage from title, answering the buyer's requisitions, and releasing your net proceeds on closing day. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, so as a seller it has no effect on your file or your statement of adjustments. We keep you posted at each stage of the process so a York Region closing goes as smoothly as any other, and there are no last-minute surprises when your closing date arrives.
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 registering a new purchase mortgage, refinancing an existing one, or arranging a private mortgage on a Richmond Hill property, our fee is the same flat $1,241.87, HST included.

One price covers every mortgage type we handle.
