Frequently asked questions
Yes. In Ontario, only a lawyer can complete the transfer and register your deed. Ownright handles the full closing for London buyers and sellers — title search, mortgage, and registration — online, at a flat fee.
London charges only Ontario's land transfer tax — there is no municipal LTT. On an average-priced London home around $603,000, that is about $8,535. First-time buyers can claim up to $4,000 back, bringing it to roughly $4,535.
The City of London requires rental properties of four units or fewer to hold a Residential Rental Unit Licence, which includes a fire inspection and a self-certification checklist. Before you close, we confirm the licence is in place and the property is compliant, so you don't inherit an unlicensed or unsafe rental.
Beyond land transfer tax, budget for your lawyer's fee, title insurance, a title search, and adjustments for prepaid property taxes. Ownright quotes a flat legal fee up front so there are no surprises on closing day.
London has no municipal vacant home tax. Ontario's Non-Resident Speculation Tax and the federal foreign-buyer rules can still apply — we check whether they affect your purchase before closing.
Most London purchases and sales close on the date set in your agreement. Ownright starts your file as soon as you sign, keeps the title search and mortgage instructions moving, and coordinates with the other side so closing day stays on track.
