Development in a regulated area, and interference with a wetland or watercourse, are prohibited by section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act without a permit under section 28.1, issued by the authority — not the municipality — under O. Reg. 41/24. Watershed boundaries follow drainage rather than municipal lines, so a property at the edge of Wollaston can fall under a neighbouring authority; confirm for the specific address.

The Wollaston-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Wollaston Township sits within Hastings County, and property there registers at the Hastings Land Registry Office, LRO #21. That office processes registrations electronically, so a Wollaston closing doesn't call for anyone to attend in person.
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 property in Wollaston Township means only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax applies, since neither Wollaston nor Hastings County has a municipal transfer tax to add. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, taxes included, and we set out the provincial LTT plus any disbursements as their own line on your closing statement so you can see the full cost before signing. Wollaston's 2021 census population was 721, with 757 private dwellings recorded and 352 occupied by usual residents — both StatCan figures, stated plainly. Lakefront cabins, seasonal properties, and permanent homes in the township are all closed the same way, with the same document set and the same fee.
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 Wollaston Township property, we secure discharge instructions for your current mortgage, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and prepare your net proceeds statement so funds are ready to release on closing. Land transfer tax is the buyer's obligation, so it never appears on the seller's side of the ledger. Our sale fee is fixed at $1,241.87, taxes included, whatever the property sells for.
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 purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages on Wollaston Township land run at $1,241.87 flat, taxes included. We check the lender's commitment letter against your figures, draft and register the charge, and make sure conditions are satisfied before the funding date arrives. A cottage-country address on the file doesn't add a surcharge or a separate checklist.
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 — we work Wollaston Township files by phone, email, and e-signature, so a nearby office isn't part of the equation.
No. As a lower-tier township, Wollaston has no municipal land transfer tax — the provincial rate is all buyers owe.
The flat fee itself, taxes included, covers our legal work. Land transfer tax and other government or third-party charges are itemized separately at cost.
At the Hastings Land Registry Office, LRO #21, electronically — a filing we manage as part of your fee.
We open title review and lender coordination as soon as you retain us, aiming to preserve the closing date already set in your contract.
