Why do I need Title Insurance?

Title Insurance is a form of insurance that protect you against potential losses related to title defects, liens, encumbrances, or other title issues that may arise. Title insurance provides assurance that the title to your property is valid and enforceable, and that any previous owners or lenders have no claims against it. Without title insurance, you could potentially be responsible for costs associated with any title issues or claims that arise, so it is important to have title insurance when purchasing a home.

How much does it cost to hire a Real Estate Lawyer?

The expense of securing a real estate attorney depends on several factors, including the type of legal services offered, the intricacy of the real estate deal, and the amount of time devoted to your case. While you may need to pay for the attorney’s services, you should also keep in mind that there may be additional costs that come with the transaction, such as fees for filing documents, title insurance, and recording expenses. It’s essential to understand all the costs involved to make an informed decision. Leverage our “Get A Quote” tool and learn about our estimated fees and other charges right away.

Can a lawyer represent both buyer and seller in the real estate closing?

It is considered a conflict of interest for a single attorney to serve as legal representation for both the buyer and the seller in a real estate closing. This scenario creates the potential for ethical dilemmas, as the lawyer may have to make choices that prioritize one party over the other. It is advisable that each party engages their own legal counsel.

However, there are some limited exceptions to this rule. If you believe that your situation may qualify as one of these exceptions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss your case in detail.

What are the benefits of being a first-time home buyer?

The government of Ontario provides several initiatives aimed at lowering the expenses for first-time homebuyers. These programs include the Land Transfer Tax Rebate, the Home Buyer’s Plan, and the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, all of which can greatly aid in reducing the costs associated with buying a home.

Use our free “Get A Quote” tool on this website to learn how much you may save through Land Transfer Tax Rebate if you’re a first home buyer.

What is Tarion warranty coverage?

The Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act is managed by Tarion. The act mandates that all new homes constructed in Ontario must be enrolled in the Tarion warranty program, which offers protection to homeowners against undisclosed major defects in their homes. The warranty covers a range of issues, including major structural problems, electrical and mechanical failures, water infiltration, and more. The Tarion warranty program helps ensure that new home buyers in Ontario have peace of mind and protection for their investment.

Can a non-resident of Canada buy residential property in Ontario?

The ban on foreign homebuyers in Canada is now in effect. On January 1, 2023, the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act (PPRP) came into effect. With some exceptions, the Act forbids non-Canadians for a period of two years from purchasing residential property. To learn more, please contact our law office.
