Key Legal Considerations in Ontario Real Estate

Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA)

Sets licensing standards, disclosure obligations, ethical requirements, and trust account regulations for real estate professionals across Ontario.

Land Registration & Title System

Ontario’s electronic land registry (POLARIS) records property ownership, encumbrances, and transfers with accuracy and security—ensuring transparency for every buyer and seller.

Title Search & Title Insurance

We conduct detailed title searches to identify liens, easements, encroachments, and other issues. Title insurance adds an essential layer of protection against unforeseen title defects, fraud, and registration errors.

Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS)

A binding contract that outlines price, deposit, conditions, and closing terms. We review or prepare your APS to safeguard your interests and minimize legal risk.

Deposit Handling & Trust Accounts

Deposits are typically held in trust by a brokerage or lawyer, ensuring security and compliance throughout the transaction.

Zoning, By-laws & Land Use Restrictions

Municipal zoning governs property use and development. We verify compliance and ensure that your intended use is legally permitted.

Tarion New Home Warranty

For new builds, Ontario requires builders to be Tarion-registered, offering warranty protection for construction deficiencies and delayed closings.

Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST)

Non-residents may be subject to a 25% NRST on certain Ontario property purchases. We confirm applicability and ensure adherence to filing requirements.

Mortgage & Financing Review

We review loan conditions, lender instructions, and mortgage registrations to protect you from hidden financial obligations or unfavorable terms.

HST Considerations on New Homes

We advise whether HST applies to your transaction and assist with available rebates where applicable.

Closing & Title Transfer

We manage all aspects of closing document preparation, adjustments, title transfer, and funds disbursement to ensure a smooth and timely completion.

Property Tax & Utility Adjustments

We prepare accurate adjustments for taxes, utilities, and prepaid expenses to ensure fair allocation on closing day.
