Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.

The Welland-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Welland's real estate registrations are filed electronically through Ontario's ONLAND (Teraview) system rather than through a physical land registry counter, which mirrors how our online process handles every step of 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.
Welland buyers pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; the additional municipal land transfer tax that applies in Toronto has no equivalent here. As a City within the Niagara region, Welland's transactions follow the same provincial land transfer tax rules used across the rest of Ontario, and we factor that single-tax structure into the closing cost estimate we send you at the start of your file. Our flat fee for a purchase is $1,354.87, HST included, no matter the type of home you're buying; disbursements and the land transfer tax itself are extra, billed at cost, and itemized clearly.
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 Welland involves clearing title, addressing the requisitions raised by the buyer's lawyer, and arranging discharge of any mortgage registered against the property so the sale can close cleanly. Once those steps are complete, we calculate your net proceeds and release them to you promptly at closing. Because land transfer tax is the buyer's expense, it plays no role in your file as the seller. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements billed separately at cost.
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 service — for new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages registered against Welland property — is billed at a single flat fee of $1,241.87, HST included. We work through the lender's commitment letter, prepare and register the charge, and verify the lender's conditions are satisfied before the funds are released.
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's no need to track down a Welland office — our entire process, from reviewing your agreement to signing and closing, happens online and by phone, with the same attention a local visit would get.
No. Only Toronto applies a municipal land transfer tax in Ontario. In Welland, buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax and nothing more on that front.
Our flat fee, HST included, covers our legal work. The provincial land transfer tax, registration costs, and any optional title insurance are shown as separate line items so you can see what's ours and what's a government or third-party charge.
Electronically, through Ontario's ONLAND (Teraview) system. There's no need for an in-person land registry visit, which is part of why our online process works smoothly for Welland files.
Welland is a City of about 55,750 people in the Niagara region. City size doesn't change our approach — every file gets the same flat-fee, fully online process whether the property is in a small town or a larger city.
