Residential and Commercial Real Estate
A real estate transaction will start with an offer to purchase. Once accepted, the parties sign an agreement of purchase and sale. To ensure the terms of the agreement are honoured, a lawyer needs to do title and off-title searches. We perform all necessary searches and ensure smooth closings on new or used homes, rural or urban properties, condominiums, cottages, commercial properties, and estate transfers.
Residential Rental Properties
A transaction involving rental property raises additional concerns, including whether or not a buyer wants vacant possession or will be assuming existing tenancies. To protect the rights and obligations of the landlord and tenant, we advise and prepare all the appropriate legal documents.
Properties Sold Under Power of Sale
When a mortgagor (borrower) defaults on mortgage payments, the mortgagee (lender) can sell the land by Power of Sale. This type of transaction has specific legal requirements. We ensure that all necessary requirements of a purchase under Power of Sale are satisfied.
Land Severances
Subdivision control is the division of land into smaller parcels. When such a severance occurs, we can clarify the law and prepare the legal documents for the developers.
Mortgage Refinancing
If you’re planning on refinancing your existing mortgage, consult with a real estate lawyer to ensure that your legal rights are being protected.
