Frequently asked questions
Yes. In Ontario, only a licensed lawyer can search title and register the transfer and mortgage, so every Aurora purchase or sale needs one. Ownright handles the whole closing online, from reviewing your agreement to searching title, holding your funds, and registering the deal.
On a typical Aurora home around $1,302,000, Ontario land transfer tax is about $22,515, or roughly $18,515 for first-time buyers after the $4,000 rebate. Aurora has no municipal land transfer tax, so you pay the provincial tax only, unlike Toronto where a second tax nearly doubles it.
Northeast Old Aurora, around the historic core, is a designated Heritage Conservation District. Heritage designation is registered on title and limits exterior changes, additions, and demolition without permits. Ownright checks for designation before you're firm, so renovation restrictions don't surprise you after closing.
Beyond the purchase price, budget for land transfer tax (about $22,515 on a $1,302,000 home), your legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, and adjustments for any prepaid property taxes or utilities. Ownright quotes a flat legal fee up front, so you know your closing costs before you commit.
Yes. Even a gift or transfer between family members has to be drafted and registered by a lawyer, and land transfer tax and title issues can still apply. Ownright handles Aurora title transfers between family, spouses, or into a trust, and flags any tax before you sign.
Yes. Ownright closes Aurora deals fully online, with electronic signing and remote identity verification, so you never have to visit an office in person. That makes it easy for out-of-town buyers, commuters, and sellers to close on an Aurora property.
