What real estate lawyers in Sarnia help with

A real estate lawyer reviews the agreement of purchase and sale, searches title, prepares closing documents and handles the transfer of funds on closing day. They also act on sales, refinancing, new-build and pre-construction purchases, and condo or commercial property matters.

Real Estate law in Ontario: what to know

Buying property in Ontario involves a provincial land transfer tax (and, in Toronto, a separate municipal land transfer tax). A lawyer can estimate the closing costs you should budget for.

How to choose a real estate lawyer in Sarnia

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is real estate, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. Send the lawyer the signed agreement and any conditions.
  2. They review the contract and advise you before conditions are removed.
  3. The lawyer searches title and prepares or reviews the mortgage and closing documents.
  4. You sign and send closing funds ahead of the closing date.
  5. On closing day the lawyer completes the transfer and registers the deed.

Costs and fees

Real estate work is usually quoted as a flat fee plus disbursements, which are third-party costs such as title searches and registration fees. Ask for the total in writing. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
