    Send you an introduction email outlining how the transaction will unfold and the next steps.

    Contact the seller’s lawyer to advise them we are acting for you on your purchase;

    Notify the City of Winnipeg property tax department and Manitoba Hydro that you have purchased a property;

    Once we receive mortgage instructions, we will book you an appointment at our office to sign documents prior to possession; and

    You will receive an email confirming your appointment, outlining appointment requirements and the amount of closing costs you will need to bring in with you to our meeting

  • We pride ourselves on having competitive fees. Legal fees start at $895 plus GST and PST. Fees may increase depending on the complexity of your transaction. Examples of increased complexity include:

    Buying a newly constructed home from a home builder.

    You require more than one mortgage to be registered.

    The transaction is subject to our written approval.

    You are using a private lender.

    If there are additional payouts for the sale of a home or registrations on the title that needs to be discharged.

  • During the course of your sale, purchase or, refinance transaction, we will incur and pay disbursements on your behalf. These are out-of-pocket expenses that you would otherwise be required to pay if you handled the transaction yourself. Because your lawyer generally pays these expenses up front, your lawyers office will seek reimbursement by including these expenses on your statement of account.
