Why Georgetown Home Buyers Choose Perera Law

  • Agreement of Purchase and Sale review: We examine every clause, condition, and deadline in your offer, including financing and inspection conditions, so you sign with full confidence.
  • Thorough title and execution searches: We search the Ontario Land Registry to confirm the seller’s ownership and uncover liens, work orders, or tax arrears, flagging issues to resolve before closing.
  • Mortgage document review: We review your lender’s instructions and mortgage paperwork line by line, explaining your obligations in plain language before you sign anything.
  • Closing day representation: We prepare the statement of adjustments, register the transfer, and manage the key exchange so you receive your new home on schedule.
  • Deposit and interest protection: From offer to registration, we safeguard your deposit and keep your file on track.

Key Documents We Prepare and Review for Your Purchase

  • Agreement of Purchase and Sale: The binding contract for your purchase. We review its conditions and deadlines before the deal becomes firm.
  • Title search and execution search results: Official registry records confirming ownership and revealing claims against the property or the parties.
  • Charge and mortgage documents: The legal security your lender registers against the property. We verify the terms match your financing commitment.
  • Statement of adjustments: The final accounting of the purchase price, deposits, property taxes, and utility adjustments between buyer and seller.
  • Transfer and deed of land: The document that legally conveys ownership to you, registered electronically with the Ontario Land Registry.

Beyond Buying: Our Comprehensive Real Estate Services

In addition to buyer representation, Perera Law assists Georgetown clients with selling real estate, title changes and transfers of ownership, mortgage refinancing, private lending transactions, and notary public services. One firm for every stage of your property journey.

Land Transfer Tax and Closing Costs in Georgetown

  • Ontario land transfer tax: Georgetown buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only. Unlike Toronto, there is no additional municipal land transfer tax in Halton Hills.
  • First-time buyer rebates: Eligible first-time buyers can claim a provincial rebate that reduces or offsets the land transfer tax payable on closing.
  • Transparent flat-fee legal pricing: You approve your legal fee before we begin, with no hidden charges added later.
  • Disbursements and title insurance: Standard registration fees, registry searches, and title insurance are itemized clearly on your statement of adjustments.

Common Questions: View all FAQ

  • Q1. Do I need a real estate lawyer when buying a home in Georgetown?

    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.

  • Q2. How much does a lawyer cost when buying a house in Georgetown?

    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.

  • Q3. When should I involve a lawyer in my Georgetown purchase?

    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.

  • Q4. What are the typical closing costs when buying in Georgetown?

    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.
