When comparing Mississauga real estate lawyers, always ask if they “cap” their office disbursements. Many firms lure you in with a low fee and then add $400 in “administrative” or “file opening” surcharges. We have capped our disbursements at $540 + HST
In Ontario, every real estate transaction involves two types of costs: Legal Fees and Disbursements.
Your Real Estate Lawyer’s Legal Fee ($999) covers the lawyer’s professional time, expertise, and responsibility for completing your transaction. Disbursements, on the other hand, are out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties, such as government bodies and search providers, necessary to complete and register your transaction. These can be understood as the administrative costs required to make your home ownership legally effective.
To assist with budgeting and transparency, our office disbursements are fixed and capped. However, certain third-party charges are not included in office disbursements, including Land Transfer Tax, Title Insurance, Unity Software fee ($240), ID verification ($30), and government registration fees (currently $85 per document).
Transparency: Unlike other firms that charge for every fax or photocopy, these costs are fixed so you can budget accurately.
