We act for Shuniah buyers, sellers, and borrowers from our Mississauga office, running each file online with a flat, disclosed legal fee. HST is included in that fee, and government charges are itemized on their own.
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 Shuniah-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
The Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, is where Shuniah title records sit; filings there go through electronically, matching how we work with clients online from start to close.
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.
In Shuniah, the only land transfer tax a buyer pays is the province's — Toronto is the single Ontario municipality that adds a tax of its own on top. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements itemized separately at cost. Shuniah's population was 3,247 at the 2021 census, spread across 2,088 total private dwellings, 1,425 of which were occupied by usual residents. Whether you're closing on a year-round home or a seasonal property, the fee and process stay the same.
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 a Shuniah property involves the same steps as anywhere in Ontario: we discharge your mortgage, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and release your proceeds once the deal closes. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and land transfer tax — being a buyer's cost — doesn't factor into what you owe as a 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.
Our mortgage work for Shuniah properties — new purchases, refinances, or private mortgages — is billed at a flat $1,241.87, HST included, covering commitment letter review, charge registration, and confirming the lender's conditions before funds move. We quote that fee upfront, before retainer, so there's no guessing what a Shuniah mortgage file will cost.
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.
We serve Shuniah entirely online — no branch visit is needed for review, signing, or closing, all of which we handle by phone and email.
No. That kind of add-on tax exists only in Toronto; Shuniah buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax alone.
No. The flat fee, HST included, is our legal fee. Land transfer tax and optional title insurance are itemized separately as at-cost charges.
Shuniah properties are recorded through the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, with electronic registration.
