Westport is a Village of 634 people in the Leeds and Grenville region, and a closing here runs on the same flat fee and online process as any Ontario file — the price is set in writing before you sign, and HST is already folded into it.
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 Westport-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Westport doesn't have its own named land registry office; registration for the village is filed electronically through the province's ONLAND (Teraview) system, and we manage the rest of your file — signing, document exchange, closing — by phone, email, and e-signature.
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.
Purchasing in Westport, you'll pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; there's no municipal add-on the way there is in Toronto. Our flat purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements itemized and charged separately at cost. Westport had 359 private dwellings counted in the 2021 census, 334 of them occupied by usual residents — a fair number of seasonal or unoccupied units for a village this size, though that doesn't change the legal work involved in closing your purchase. Your fee is confirmed before your file opens, not adjusted afterward.
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 Westport property, we take care of discharging your mortgage, answering the buyer's requisitions on title, and releasing your proceeds once closing funds and registration are confirmed. The flat selling fee is $1,241.87, HST included; disbursements are extra, billed at cost. Land transfer tax is the buyer's obligation, so it doesn't affect your statement. You'll get clear updates at each stage of the file.
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.
New mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Westport property are all covered under our Mortgage service for a flat fee of $1,241.87, HST included. We review your commitment letter, prepare and register the charge on title, and confirm your lender's conditions are met before closing funds move — the same fee, whichever type of mortgage it is.
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 — you don't need us to have a Westport storefront. Signing, review, and closing all run by phone, email, and e-signature, so location isn't a barrier.
It doesn't. Adding a municipal land transfer tax on top of the provincial charge is something only Toronto currently does; Westport buyers owe the provincial tax and that's it.
Our fee, HST included, pays for the legal work on your file. Government charges like land transfer tax, plus any disbursements, are kept separate and billed to you at cost.
Westport registrations are filed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview), the province's land registration system, without a locally named registry office.
No. Westport's size has no bearing on the process or timeline — every file follows the same checklist and flat fee.
