Services in your area
Experienced support for purchases, sales, refinances and title transfers in London, handled through our virtual Ontario service model.
When buying a home in London, your lawyer reviews the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, investigates title, arranges title insurance, works with your lender to meet mortgage instructions, confirms the closing funds, registers the transfer and mortgage, and reports after closing. Ontario Land Transfer Tax applies and is additional to legal fees.
The $1,399 All-In Purchase Closing Special includes the legal fee, HST on the legal fee, standard disbursements and standard registration charges for one purchase with one mortgage. Land Transfer Tax and title insurance are additional. Use the calculator to estimate the funds needed to close on a London home.
When selling a London property, your lawyer reviews the agreement, obtains mortgage payout statements, answers requisitions, prepares the closing documents, completes the electronic closing, pays the required secured amounts, releases the net sale proceeds and reports to you after closing.
Most of the work is electronic, so a London sale can be coordinated through our virtual service model.
For a London refinance, your lawyer receives lender instructions, searches title, registers the new charge, pays out existing secured obligations as required, arranges title insurance where needed, receives and disburses the mortgage funds, and reports to you and the lender.
Remote signing is available where legally and practically appropriate for eligible London refinances.
Common London title-transfer situations include adding a spouse, removing an owner, family arrangements and refinancing-related ownership changes. Each transfer is subject to applicable lender, tax and legal requirements and is reviewed individually. This page is general information, not individualized legal advice.
London is a mid-sized southwestern Ontario city on the Thames River, known as the Forest City for its extensive tree canopy. It combines established residential districts with a large university and hospital presence. Wortley Village and Old North offer older homes on tree-lined streets, while Masonville in the north is a long-established area near shopping and Western University. Byron, in the west, is a family-oriented community along the river.
Housing across London ranges from historic homes near the core to post-war bungalows, suburban single-family builds in Westmount and Oakridge, and newer subdivisions spreading north and northwest. Condominium development has grown downtown and near the university, offering a lower-cost entry point for buyers. Surrounding Middlesex County communities provide rural and small-town options within commuting distance.
Real estate law is provincial in Ontario, so a London transaction follows the same legal steps as elsewhere in the province. A virtual Ontario real estate lawyer can coordinate a London closing remotely — title work, document preparation, lender coordination and registration are handled electronically, with remote signing where legally and practically appropriate.
Communities and areas referenced include Masonville, Byron, Wortley Village, Westmount, Oakridge, Old North, newer suburban areas in north and northwest London.
Land Transfer Tax
Ontario Land Transfer Tax applies to most London purchases. London does not levy its own municipal land transfer tax; the separate Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax applies only to properties located in Toronto.
Eligible first-time buyers may qualify for a provincial LTT rebate, subject to eligibility. Land Transfer Tax is not part of the $1,399 All-In Purchase Closing Special. The closing calculator estimates the LTT on a London purchase.
Authoritative information on Ontario Land Transfer Tax is available from the Government of Ontario. The City of Toronto’s separate municipal land transfer tax applies only to properties located in Toronto.
Closing cost calculator
The calculator estimates your remaining purchase price balance, Ontario Land Transfer Tax, first-time buyer rebates, mortgage proceeds, deposits paid, the title insurance you enter, and the $1,399 All-In Purchase Closing Special — so you can see the estimated funds required to close on a London home.
The calculator includes the $1,399 All-In Purchase Closing Special in its estimate. Land Transfer Tax and title insurance are entered separately.
