Frequently asked questions

Yes. In Ontario, only a lawyer can complete the transfer and register your deed. Ownright handles the full closing for Etobicoke buyers and sellers — title search, mortgage, and registration — online, at a flat fee.

Because Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, you pay two land transfer taxes — Ontario's and Toronto's municipal LTT. On a $1,016,000 Etobicoke home, that's roughly $16,795 provincial plus about $16,795 municipal, or around $33,590 combined. First-time buyers can claim up to $4,000 provincial and $4,475 municipal back, cutting it by about $8,475.

Yes. Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so every purchase pays Toronto's Municipal Land Transfer Tax on top of Ontario's provincial LTT — which roughly doubles your total land transfer tax. We calculate both to the dollar and apply every rebate you're entitled to, so there's no surprise on closing day.

Beyond your down payment, expect both provincial and Toronto municipal land transfer tax, your legal fee and disbursements, title insurance, and adjustments for prepaid property taxes. The double land transfer tax makes Etobicoke closing costs higher than the surrounding 905 — Ownright quotes a flat legal fee up front so you know exactly what you'll pay.

Ownright charges a flat legal fee for Etobicoke purchases, sales, and refinances, with disbursements shown separately — no hourly billing or surprise add-ons. You get the full quote before you start, so there are no surprises at closing.

Yes. Ownright closes Etobicoke deals remotely — you review and sign documents online and meet your lawyer by video, with no in-person office visit required. It's the same secure, lawyer-led closing, done from home anywhere in Etobicoke, from Mimico to Rexdale.
