A real estate lawyer is essential for a secure purchase in Caledon’s distinctive market. Here is how we protect you:
– Agreement of Purchase and Sale Review: We review this binding contract line by line, with special attention to rural issues such as well and septic conditions, acreage descriptions and outbuilding inclusions.
– Title Search and Examination: Our thorough search uncovers liens, mortgages, easements or rights-of-way common on larger rural lots.
– Mortgage Review: We review your mortgage documents to confirm the terms match what your lender promised and suit your purchase.
– Closing the Transaction: We manage every legal aspect of closing day, from fund transfers to deed registration, so you receive clear title and your keys on time.
– Protecting Your Interests: We act as your advocate throughout, flagging risks early and keeping your deposit secure.
– Pre-Approval Mortgage Letter: Demonstrates your borrowing capacity in Caledon’s market for estate and rural properties.
– Proof of Funds: Documentation showing you have the funds for your down payment and closing costs.
– Identification: Government-issued ID is required for all parties to a property transaction.
– Agreement of Purchase and Sale: The legally binding contract for your Caledon property, which we review before you commit.
– Property Survey: Particularly important for larger lots, a survey outlines legal boundaries and reveals encroachments or easements.
– Well and Septic Records: For rural properties, inspection reports and maintenance records for well and septic systems help you understand what you are buying.
– Home Inspection Report: Highly recommended to identify structural or system issues before closing.

Yes. In Ontario, a lawyer must complete the electronic registration of the transfer. Your lawyer also reviews your agreement, searches the title, and handles the closing funds. Involving a lawyer before your offer goes firm gives you the most protection.
Perera Law charges flat fees, confirmed with a free quote before you commit. The fee depends on the specifics of your purchase, and disbursements such as title search and registration are listed separately.
Before you sign the agreement of purchase and sale if possible. Your lawyer can review the agreement, add protective conditions, and explain your obligations while the deal is still conditional, which is far easier than fixing problems after it goes firm.
Buyers typically pay Ontario land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, disbursements such as title search and registration fees, and adjustments for prepaid property taxes or utilities. Your lawyer will give you a full written breakdown before closing day.
