Serving Selwyn with flat-fee real estate legal work run by phone, video, and e-signature from end to end — no need to carve out a trip to an office. Purchases, sales, and refinances are each priced at a single transparent, HST-included rate.
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.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Selwyn-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Selwyn properties register through the Peterborough Land Registry Office, LRO #45, with the actual registration submitted electronically through ONLAND — a system that pairs well with a legal process that never requires you to show up anywhere.
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.
Purchasers buying property in the Township of Selwyn, part of the Peterborough region, are on the hook for Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, since the municipal version of that tax exists solely in Toronto. That provincial figure gets built into your closing cost estimate as soon as we open your file, along with a check for any first-time buyer rebate you might qualify for. The 2021 census recorded 18,653 residents in Selwyn, spread across roughly 8,540 total private dwellings, of which 7,483 were occupied. Whether you're closing on a home in a denser pocket of the township or a more spread-out parcel, the same flat fee and legal steps apply.
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.
For sellers in Selwyn, our role is to discharge whatever mortgage currently sits against your title, respond promptly to requisitions raised by the buyer's counsel, and prepare a statement of adjustments that reconciles taxes, fees, and any prepaid amounts. Land transfer tax is not something a seller ever pays, so it has zero effect on your proceeds. We release your funds to you as soon as closing has been confirmed.
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.
Selwyn property owners bringing us a new mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage registration get the same flat, HST-included fee no matter which type it is. Our process involves reading your lender's commitment letter closely, drafting and registering the charge, and confirming every lender condition has been met before we release funds or complete registration. One fee, one workflow, three possible mortgage scenarios.
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.
Yes — that's the standard way we operate. Reviewing documents, signing, and closing are all done online by video, phone, and secure e-signature.
No. A second, municipal land transfer tax exists only in Toronto — nowhere else in Ontario — so a Selwyn purchase attracts the provincial tax and nothing more.
Our flat fee, with HST built in, is the total for our legal services. Items like the provincial land transfer tax and registration costs are government charges, itemized separately so you can see exactly what they are.
Selwyn registers through the Peterborough Land Registry Office, LRO #45, filed electronically through ONLAND, and that filing is included in what your flat fee covers.
Rather than searching for a nearby storefront, consider a firm built to serve Selwyn by phone, email, and e-signature — the legal work is identical, and you skip the drive entirely.
Below you'll find links to official government and land registry sources that Selwyn buyers and sellers can review for themselves.
