Common Questions
When should I involve a lawyer in my purchase?
Ideally before you sign the agreement of purchase and sale. A short review before signing lets us flag problematic conditions, deposit terms, and closing timelines while you can still negotiate them. At the latest, retain a lawyer as soon as your offer is accepted.
What is title insurance and do I need it?
Title insurance protects you against defects in title, fraud, survey issues, and certain closing risks. Most lenders in Ontario require it, and for most purchasers it is the practical way to close quickly while staying protected. We arrange the policy as part of your closing.
What closing costs should I budget for in Ontario?
Beyond your down payment, plan for Ontario land transfer tax (plus Toronto's municipal land transfer tax for properties in the city), legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, and adjustments for property taxes or utilities prepaid by the seller. We provide a clear statement of every cost before closing day.
