Our real estate law services

Each real estate transaction is unique. We pride ourselves on providing customized service to our clients. Depending on your needs and the nature of the transaction, our real estate conveyancing services may include:

  • Drafting, reviewing and providing legal advice on the Contract of Purchase and Sale.
  • Conducting title searches and investigating any encumbrances on title that may impact the transaction, such as existing mortgages, outstanding taxes, covenants, construction liens, judgments, easements, rights of way, permits, or other charges.  
  • Receiving mortgage instructions and ensuring that financing conditions are met.
  • Drafting conveyancing documents, determining closing costs, and preparing the Statement of Adjustments.
  • Advising on the legal implication of types of ownership (freehold, leasehold, strata title, cooperative) and determining the appropriate form of ownership for taking title (joint tenants vs. tenants in common).
  • Reviewing all relevant strata documentation to gather information about the strata corporation, confirm that strata fees are up to date, and uncover details of any special assessments or other levies that are outstanding or upcoming. 
  • Meeting with you to review all of the conveyancing paperwork and answer your questions.
  • Securing title insurance to protect you from risks such as fraud and hidden defects on title.
  • Explaining the BC Property Transfer Tax (PTT) and exploring ways to reduce or eliminate property tax payable (e.g., First Time Home Buyers’ Program; Newly Built Home Exemption; various Family Exemptions).
  • Advising on special considerations for non-resident buyers and sellers, such as the Foreign Buyers Property Transfer Tax, obtaining clearance certificates from Canada Revenue Agency for non-resident sellers, and income tax issues that may arise from ownership of BC rental properties by non-residents.
  • Ensuring registration of the property conveyance deed and mortgage documents with the Land Title Office on closing.
  • Paying and receiving funds to purchase property, discharge mortgages, satisfy liens or outstanding property taxes, pay commission to realtors, disbursements, etc.
  • Confirming that clear title to the property is transferred at the close of the transaction.
