Real Estate

Buying, selling or mortgaging a home is often the largest financial transaction of your life. Ensure your interests are protected; tax and title searches need to be completed before closing, and the necessary transfer of title and mortgage documents or discharges need to be properly filed at the Land Titles Office.

We are the registered and records office, and act as solicitors for more than 20 apartment corporations, and we are the designated solicitors for the only two chartered banks who are prepared to finance the purchase apartment corporations.
