Some FAQs

No more than any other residential property, although they can take months to close. Even then, your offer could be overturned by a higher bidder. Buyers who make an offer on a court-ordered sale must endure a long approval window. Because the offer has to be signed off by the court, you could lose the opportunity to offer on other attractive properties while you wait. Add to that the fact the home is “as is”, without benefit of legal recourse if problems are discovered later, and court-ordered sales are mostly for the tenacious.
Like any home purchase, the onus is on the buyer to investigate (caveat emptor) before they buy. Unfortunately, a site’s history may not be known to a realtor, and, if they know contamination exists, sellers can be withholding. Axess Law Sarnia can amend your agreement of purchase and sale to include clauses that could prevent nasty surprises. However, only an environmental assessment can determine if soil needs to be replaced. Start by checking local or provincial land registries for records of historic uses or environmental concerns, then hire an expert or find a local lab that does soil sampling.

That depends on why you bought the home.

If you’re the original purchaser and intentionally assigned the home because property values went up, you pay the GST. Canada Revenue Agency considers your purchase an investment “adventure”. The same may apply if the home is impractical for your needs, such as too small for your family. That raises suspicions you bought it to profit off rising housing prices.

On the other hand, if you planned to live there but your circumstances changed, such as relocating for work, you may be exempt. Axess Law Sarnia reviews your agreement of purchase and sale, and if needed, refers you to a trusted tax lawyer.

Most lenders are reputable, but we advise anyone borrowing to buy or refinance Ontario property to do their homework. BBB (Better Business Bureau) websites for a credible source for consumer reviews. “B” lenders include major financial institutions, and work with you if your credit score disqualifies you for the best interest rates. Private lenders offer shorter terms, based on a property’s value and equity. Your credit score is irrelevant to these investors and mortgage investment groups, who want to make a quick profit and exit.
Other than for new condos purchased from builders or developers, generally not. New condo buyers can withdraw their offer within 10 calendar days of receiving the agreement of purchase and disclosure statement. Ask Axess Law to review your contract to see if it has a cooling-off clause.

You might negotiate a flat rate fee with your lawyer — Axess Law’s fees are all flat rates — but otherwise, no.

Closing costs are fixed fees that add as much as about 5% to the cost of a home. They include land transfer taxes, plus Toronto’s municipal land transfer tax, title and fire insurance, and registering title to your property. Legal fees and your share of property taxes and utilities are included.

For high-ratio mortgages with less than 20% down, mortgage default insurance is added to your costs. HST of 13%, minus any rebates you qualify for, is due for new or substantially renovated homes.

As the closing day draws near, your Axess Law lawyer will contact you to finalize the amount you need to bring to our office to conclude your home purchase.
