FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Buying, selling or refinancing property in Mississauga? Find answers to common questions about real estate legal fees, closing costs, required documents, mortgage financing and the closing process in Ontario.
At Shaikh Law Firm, our legal fee for a standard residential sale is $999, while purchases and refinances are $1,100, plus a $699 fixed office disbursement package and applicable HST. Land transfer tax, title insurance and government registration fees are additional where applicable. For a detailed breakdown, visit our Real Estate Lawyer Fees Ontario page.
Depending on your transaction, our work includes reviewing closing documents and lender instructions, reviewing title and addressing requisitions, coordinating with the other lawyer, and arranging registration and the transfer of funds. Your written quote identifies the work included in your legal fee, office disbursements and any separately quoted services.
The required documents depend on whether you are buying, selling or refinancing. Generally, you should provide your property address, closing date, contact information and valid identification. For purchases and sales, your lawyer will ordinarily require the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and relevant amendments. For refinancing, existing mortgage details and lender information will also be required. Our office provides a transaction-specific document checklist before closing.
Ideally, contact a real estate lawyer as soon as your offer is accepted or when your proposed closing date is known. Early involvement allows sufficient time to review documents, investigate title, coordinate mortgage instructions and address potential closing issues. If you are purchasing a new-build property or need an agreement reviewed before signing, contact a lawyer earlier.
The time available for closing generally depends on the closing date agreed upon in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Your lawyer uses the period before closing to complete title searches, review documents, coordinate with the lender and prepare the necessary registrations. Short closing periods may require urgent arrangements and additional work. Contact our office promptly if your closing date is approaching.
Secure remote signing is available for eligible residential real estate transactions, subject to identification, legal and lender requirements. Our office will confirm whether your transaction qualifies for remote signing. You may also arrange an in-person signing appointment at our Mississauga office.
Not necessarily. An Ontario-licensed real estate lawyer can generally handle a residential property closing in Mississauga without having an office in the city. Shaikh Law Firm has its head office in Mississauga and offers remote appointments for eligible transactions, together with in-person appointments.
No. Ontario land transfer tax is separate from your lawyer's legal fees and office disbursements. It generally applies when purchasing or acquiring an interest in Ontario property, subject to applicable exemptions. The amount depends on the consideration and the applicable tax rules. Your closing estimate should identify land transfer tax separately from legal fees.
Eligible first-time homebuyers may qualify for an Ontario land transfer tax refund of up to $4,000. Eligibility depends on factors including previous property ownership, age, citizenship or permanent resident status, spousal ownership history and occupancy requirements. Your lawyer can review your eligibility and assist with the applicable closing documentation. See the Ontario first-time homebuyer refund rules .
For eligibility requirements and refund details, see the Ontario government's First-Time Homebuyer Land Transfer Tax Refund Guide .Title insurance is an insurance policy that may protect a property owner or mortgage lender against specified title-related losses, such as certain title defects and fraud risks, subject to the policy's terms and exclusions. Title insurance is not generally required by Ontario legislation for every purchase, but a mortgage lender may require coverage as a condition of financing. The premium is separate from our standard legal fee and fixed office disbursements.
A condominium purchase involves legal considerations beyond the transfer of ownership. Your lawyer assists with the closing, including title matters, mortgage requirements and the required registration. Condominium buyers should also consider obtaining and reviewing the Status Certificate, which provides important information about the condominium corporation, common expenses and other relevant matters. Confirm the scope and timing of any Status Certificate review with your lawyer, particularly before a condition deadline.
Your lawyer will confirm the amount required to complete your purchase, together with the applicable payment method and deadline. Closing funds may include the remaining purchase price, adjustments, land transfer tax, legal fees and other closing costs, after accounting for your deposit and available mortgage proceeds. Funds must be received and available in time to complete the transaction. Always independently verify payment instructions with your law firm before transferring funds.
There is no guaranteed key-release time. Timing depends on funds arriving, registration and completion of the closing requirements. We will notify you when your purchase has closed and confirm the arrangements for your keys or lockbox access.
