Real estate lawyer in Ottawa

We close purchases, sales and refinances across Ontario. Flat fee, quoted before you sign anything, and a file you can open at any hour to see exactly where your closing stands.

Signing is remote by default. If you would rather sit down with someone, we arrange that too.

Estimates only. Land transfer tax is calculated on the consideration for the property and rates above $2,000,000 differ for some property types. Registration, search and title insurance amounts vary by lender and property.

Purchase

We review the agreement, search title, handle the lender’s requirements and register you as owner on closing day.

Sale

We prepare the transfer, clear the existing mortgage and lines against title, and get the proceeds to you.

Refinance

New lender, same property. We discharge the old charge, register the new one and confirm the payout.

Send the agreement

Upload it and we confirm the flat fee and closing date the same business day.

We open the file

Title search, lender instructions and adjustments, all visible to you as they land.

Sign

Remotely by video, or in person in Ottawa if that is easier for you.

Close

Funds move, registration completes, and you get keys and a closing package.

Do I have to come to an office in Ottawa?

No. Signing is done by video with identity verification, which is how most of our Ottawa closings run. If you want to sign in person we will arrange it.

How much is land transfer tax in Ottawa?

Only the Ontario tax applies in Ottawa. On a $750,000 home that is about $11,475. First-time buyers can claim up to $4,000 back.

When do I need a lawyer?

As soon as your offer is firm. Two to three weeks before closing is comfortable. We take files with tighter dates, but earlier means fewer surprises.

What is not in the flat fee?

Disbursements: land transfer tax, registration and search fees, title insurance and courier costs. They are listed line by line in your quote, not added at the end.
