Title Insurance:

Title insurance is an insurance policy that protects residential or commercial property owners and their lenders against losses related to the property’s title or ownership.

Advantages:

• Unknown title defects (title issues that prevent you from having clear ownership of the property);
• Existing liens against the property’s title (e.g. the previous owner had unpaid debts from utilities, mortgages, property taxes or condominium charges secured against the property);
• Encroachment issues (e.g. a structure on your property needs to be removed because it is on your neighbor’s property);
• Title fraud;
• Errors in surveys and public records

Land Transfer Tax:

Effective April 21, 2017, a 15% tax is imposed on the purchase or acquisition of an interest in residential property located in the Greater Golden Horseshoe by individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada or by foreign corporations (foreign entities) or taxable trustees. This new tax is in addition to Ontario’s current Land Transfer Tax. The implementation of the Non‑Resident Speculation Tax is subject to the approval of the Legislature.   Find out More…
