Frequently asked questions
Yes. In Ontario, only a lawyer can complete the transfer and register your deed. Ownright handles the full closing for Bowmanville and Clarington buyers and sellers — title search, mortgage, and registration — online, at a flat fee.
Ownright charges a flat legal fee for Bowmanville closings, quoted upfront with no surprises — separate from third-party costs like land transfer tax, title insurance, and registration. You see the full breakdown before you commit.
No. Bowmanville is part of the Municipality of Clarington in Durham Region, so you pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax — there is no municipal LTT (that applies only in the City of Toronto). On a $754,000 home the provincial tax works out to roughly $11,555, and first-time buyers may qualify for a rebate of up to $4,000.
Older homes in the historic King Street area can carry survey gaps, unregistered additions or decks, and aging systems like knob-and-tube wiring or a buried oil tank. We run a full title search and arrange title insurance so any past issues are covered, and we flag anything that needs a closer look before you close.
Often, yes. Older properties are more likely to have things like an out-of-date survey, a deck or addition built without a permit, or a historical title irregularity. Title insurance protects you against many of these, and we make sure the right coverage is in place at closing.
Yes. The entire closing is handled remotely — you review and sign documents online and meet your lawyer by video. There's no need to visit an office, whether you're in Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, or elsewhere in Clarington.
