Some Real Estate FAQs

Mortgage brokers receive commissions from lenders, but only the one you choose. Brokers receive a percentage of your loan amount, typically less than 1.5%, directly from the lender. They may also be paid a trailer fee, meaning the commission is spread out over the life of your mortgage, or extra bonus if you renew with the same lender.

Usually to verify the location of buildings on real estate plots. Say you are building a double garage. That’s a hefty undertaking. Your lender may want reassurance the new structure will be on real estate they actually own. Since lenders are adjoined to your property title, finding your new garage has accidentally migrated onto a neighbouring lot can be a costly mistake.

If it was deliberate, such as to cover up their home’s condition and you buy the home, you can take a real estate seller to court. You can also withdraw an offer when a seller withholds information you need to make a real estate decision. You may lose your deposit or be responsible for a seller’s expenses, which is why getting legal advice from an Axess Law Mississauga real estate lawyer before you sign is useful. Our in-person and virtual real estate lawyers review agreements of purchase and sale to preserve your buyer’s right to cancel when the seller property information sheet is wrong, or a home inspection turns up defects a real estate seller likely knew about.

Subcontractor liens are indeed possible. Trades that work for a general contractor may be able to sue a property owner, or even a lender who distributes funds to a general contractor. Expect to find a potential construction lien on real estate you own if the general contractor skips town. Our real estate lawyer Mississauga service searches property titles for liens before registering a property in your name. If you are stranded by a construction lien, an Axess Law in-person or virtual real estate lawyer in Mississauga can refer you to a trusted legal partner with construction law experience.

Deposits are usually due within 24 hours of your offer being accepted by a real estate seller. For example, by 3:59 p.m. Tuesday for an offer accepted at 4 p.m. Monday. You can, however, write into the initial offer that you propose to pay the deposit 24 hours after a professional home inspection is completed. That way, a real estate seller can decide if they want to:

  • accept your offer the way it’s written
  • counter offer with a proposal of their own
  • or reject your offer altogether.

Given the frequent real estate market frenzy in the Greater Toronto Area, we predict the seller will either counter offer or outright reject your proposal. To be competitive with other real estate buyers (some making firm offers with no conditions), make your agreement of purchase and sale contingent on a satisfactory home inspection. By signing, the seller mutually consents to what happens to the deposit if the deal falls through, and you get your money back without a struggle.

Axess Law real estate lawyer Mississauga service can review your draft agreement of purchase and sale to add essential clauses in case you need to withdraw your offer.

Go back over your offer for a 24- or 48-hour escape clause. Real estate sellers who accept conditional offers often include a clause allowing them to “escape” their legal contract if they get a better offer. Why? Because conditional offers are not final or binding until all conditions are met or waived. Consenting to an escape clause signals you are prepared to waive your conditions, or suffer the consequences. 

And the consequences can be expensive, especially if you have already paid for a home inspection, or listed your own home for sale. If you think an escape clause puts you in a tough spot, you’re right. The real estate seller is legally within their rights to continuing showing their home, even as you rush to finalize mortgage financing. 

That’s why realtors advise against making offers with long closing dates, or contingent on selling other real estate. Deciding if you’re prepared to forego outstanding conditions, and finalize your offer on short notice — now that’s a serious bind for any real estate buyer.
