Frequently asked questions
Yes. In Ontario, only a lawyer can complete the transfer and register your deed. Ownright handles the full closing for Collingwood buyers and sellers — title search, mortgage, and registration — online, at a flat fee.
Ownright charges a flat legal fee for Collingwood 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. Collingwood is in Simcoe County, so you pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax — there is no municipal LTT (that applies only in the City of Toronto). On an $850,000 home the provincial tax works out to roughly $13,475, and first-time buyers may qualify for a rebate of up to $4,000.
Ask for the condo's status certificate. It shows the reserve fund, monthly fees, any special assessments, and the declaration and rules — including whether short-term rentals or a rental pool are permitted. We review it before you're firm so there are no surprises after closing.
It depends on the local rules and, for a condo, the corporation's declaration. Collingwood and the neighbouring Blue Mountains regulate and license short-term rentals, and many condo corporations restrict or prohibit them. We check the zoning, licensing, and condo rules so you know what's allowed before you buy.
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 local or buying a getaway from the GTA.
