№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

As with the rest of Ontario, a Thorold closing registers through the province's ONLAND (Teraview) system rather than at a physical land registry office, meaning there's nothing about the filing step that requires an in-person visit.

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 Thorold

What Thorold buyers should know

Thorold buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax alone; the city doesn't impose a municipal land transfer tax, a tax that in Ontario is unique to Toronto. $1,354.87 flat, HST included, is what a Thorold purchase costs with us — that price covers agreement review, title search, and preparing the documents you'll sign at closing. The land transfer tax and any disbursements are billed separately, at cost, and itemized clearly. Thorold's population was 23,816 as of the 2021 census, and our flat fee doesn't change based on the type or price of the property you're buying.

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 Thorold

Clean title, clean payout

We manage the mortgage payout, respond to whatever the buyer's lawyer raises about title, and get your net proceeds to you once the sale has gone through. Land transfer tax is a buyer's cost only, so it has no impact on what you pay to sell. $1,241.87 flat, HST included, covers a Thorold sale with us; disbursements are charged at cost and shown separately. We handle every step online and keep you informed along the way.

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.

№ 04Mortgages in Thorold

One flat fee, every mortgage

$1,241.87 flat, HST included, is the price for mortgage work on a Thorold property, whether that's a new loan, a refinance, or a private mortgage. Part of our job is satisfying whatever your lender's commitment letter requires and then registering the resulting charge on title. Disbursements are itemized and billed at cost, separately from our fee.

New mortgage

A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

Refinance

Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.

Private mortgage

Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.

№ 05Before You Ask

Thorold closing questions

Trying to find a real estate lawyer near you in Thorold?

You won't need to locate an office within Thorold — we act for clients there entirely online, through phone calls, email, and secure document signing.

Is there a municipal land transfer tax in Thorold?

No — Thorold has no municipal land transfer tax. Within Ontario, only Toronto imposes one on top of the provincial tax.

Does your fee cover the land transfer tax too?

The land transfer tax isn't part of our fee — it's a government charge we pass through at cost. Same with disbursements and any optional title insurance; each is its own line item.

How does registration work for a Thorold closing?

Thorold deals are submitted through the province's ONLAND (Teraview) platform electronically rather than delivered in person, and we manage that filing directly as part of your flat fee.

Can you close a Thorold file if I live out of province?

Yes — since the process runs entirely online, being outside Ontario doesn't prevent us from closing your Thorold file.
