We handle purchases, sales, refinancing, and title transfers across Mississauga.
Our Thornhill office is a direct drive from Mississauga along the 407. In-person signing is available there, and remote identity verification and document signing are also available for clients who prefer not to travel.
Mississauga buyers pay Ontario land transfer tax without Toronto's additional municipal tax.
Mississauga sits in Peel Region, where, as in York Region, no municipality charges a land transfer tax of its own. A Mississauga buyer pays the provincial tax only, calculated on a graduated structure and payable on closing.
City Centre and the surrounding highrise corridor carry a large share of Mississauga's condominium transactions, where the status certificate is a central part of the review.
Around City Centre and along the highrise corridor near Square One, condominium purchases make up a large share of the city's transactions. The status certificate review sits alongside the title search as a core part of the file: reserve fund health, any pending special assessment, arrears, and what the declaration permits for rentals, pets, and short-term occupancy.
Some Mississauga townhome developments are freehold but sit within a common-element condominium, which can bring fees and a status certificate.
Some freehold townhome developments in Mississauga sit within a common-element condominium corporation that owns and maintains shared roads, visitor parking, landscaping, or other common property. You own the home outright, and you also pay fees and are entitled to a status certificate, which we review in much the same way as a conventional condominium status certificate.
Ontario tax only
There is no additional Mississauga municipal land transfer tax.
Only the Ontario land transfer tax applies to a Mississauga purchase. Toronto remains the only Ontario municipality that charges its own land transfer tax in addition to the provincial one.
The provincial tax is calculated on a graduated basis against the purchase price and is payable on closing. First-time buyers may claim the provincial rebate up to its maximum, applied at registration.
We review your agreement before the conditions come off, search title, and carry the file through to the day you get the keys.
We answer the buyer's requisitions, arrange the discharge of your existing mortgage, and account for every dollar leaving the transaction.
Whether you are moving lenders, taking equity out, or adding a second charge, we handle the registration and the discharge that follows it.
Adding a spouse, removing a name, transferring to family, or updating title after a death. Each one carries tax and mortgage consequences worth understanding first.
Builder agreements are written for the builder. We read yours as early as we can, and where a statutory rescission right applies, inside that window, while there is still something you can do about it.
In-person signing at our Thornhill office is our standard approach, and remote identity verification and document signing are available if you prefer. Remote signing changes how you meet with us, not the lawyer-led legal work performed on your closing.
We review the transaction and tell you what we need.
Searches, lender work and closing documents are handled by our team.
Sign at our Thornhill office, or remotely if you prefer. We confirm when the transaction closes.
We act throughout Mississauga, including:
No. Only the provincial land transfer tax applies to a Mississauga purchase. Toronto is the only municipality in Ontario with a municipal land transfer tax, so a Mississauga closing does not carry that second cost.
The status certificate first. It discloses the reserve fund's health, any pending special assessment, whether the unit is in arrears, and what the declaration permits around rentals, pets, and short-term occupancy. Where your agreement is conditional on a satisfactory certificate, the review period is usually short and set by the agreement itself.
It can be. Some freehold townhome developments sit within a common-element condominium corporation that maintains shared roads, visitor parking, landscaping, or other common property. You own the home outright, and you also pay fees and are entitled to a status certificate, which we review in much the same way as a conventional condominium status certificate.
Not necessarily. Our Thornhill office is available for in-person signing. If you would rather not travel to the office, we can also complete identity verification and document signing remotely. Remote signing changes how you meet with us, not the lawyer-led legal work performed on your closing.
Throughout the city. Established areas like Port Credit, Streetsville, and Mineola raise different questions than newer development in Churchill Meadows or Meadowvale, but we act across all of them, from a condominium at City Centre to a freehold house near the lake.
Send us the agreement and we will confirm what the file needs, what it will cost to close, and whether you prefer to sign at our Thornhill office or remotely.
