When you sell property in Caledon, our real estate lawyer assists you with:
– Comprehensive Document Review: We examine your listing agreement and the Agreement of Purchase and Sale to confirm the terms serve your interests.
– Rural Title Clearance: We resolve title issues common to larger lots, such as unregistered easements, rights-of-way or old charges, before they can delay closing.
– Statement of Adjustments: We prepare the official Statement of Adjustments, accounting for property taxes, fuel, and other prepaid or outstanding amounts fairly between you and the buyer.
– Mortgage Discharge and Debt Payouts: We obtain payout statements from your lender and ensure existing mortgages and registered debts are cleared on closing day.
– Secure Transfer of Sale Proceeds: After registration, we disburse your net proceeds directly to your bank account through a secure, verified process.
– Agreement of Purchase and Sale: The main contract with your buyer, setting out price, closing date and conditions. We review it to safeguard your interests.
– Recent Property Tax Bill: Used to calculate property tax adjustments so costs are shared fairly at closing.
– Mortgage Statement: Shows what you owe, allowing us to calculate the discharge amount and your net proceeds.
– Property Survey: Especially valuable for acreage properties, a survey clarifies boundaries and easements for the buyer.
– Well and Septic Records: Maintenance and inspection records reassure buyers of rural properties and prevent last-minute concerns.
– Home Insurance Policy: Confirms coverage through closing day, protecting both parties during the transfer.
– Utility Bills: Recent statements help with closing adjustments and service transfers.

Selling a property involves various costs. We help you understand and plan for:
– Legal Fees: Transparent flat-fee pricing for document preparation, title work and closing representation.
– Real Estate Commission: Usually the largest selling cost, typically 3% to 6% of the sale price, split between agents.
– Land Transfer Tax Considerations: Paid by the buyer in most cases, but worth understanding for negotiations, especially in a buyer’s market.
– Capital Gains Tax: If the property is not your principal residence, profit on the sale may be subject to capital gains tax.
– Mortgage Discharge Fees: Your lender’s charges for removing the mortgage from title, which can include early payout penalties.
Selling your Caledon property deserves experienced legal guidance. Contact Perera Law today for a clear, upfront quote.
Perera Law charges flat fees, confirmed with a free quote before you commit. The fee covers preparing the transfer documents, discharging your mortgage, and handling the flow of funds on closing day.
Your lawyer prepares the transfer documents, confirms you have valid title to convey to the buyer, arranges the mortgage discharge with your lender, calculates adjustments, and ensures you receive your sale proceeds. Disbursements such as registration fees are listed separately in your quote.
Sellers typically pay legal fees, mortgage discharge fees charged by their lender, and any outstanding adjustments for property taxes or utilities. Your lawyer sets out every amount in writing before closing so you know exactly what to expect.
Each side pays its own lawyer. As the seller, you pay your lawyer's flat fee plus applicable disbursements, usually settled from the sale proceeds on closing day.
