Frequently asked questions
Yes. In Ontario, only a licensed lawyer can transfer title and register a property, so every Timmins purchase or sale needs one. Ownright handles the title search, mortgage registration, closing funds, and final registration, and reviews your documents before you sign so there are no surprises on closing day.
On a typical Timmins home around $340,000, Ontario land transfer tax is about $3,575. First-time buyers get a rebate of up to $4,000, which fully covers it, so most first-time buyers in Timmins pay no land transfer tax. Timmins has no municipal land transfer tax either.
Often, yes. Timmins grew up around the Porcupine gold camp, and many older titles, especially in Schumacher, South Porcupine, and the Townsite, carry mineral reservations or sit near former mine workings. Before you close, Ownright checks the title for reservations and any environmental disclosures so you know exactly what you are buying.
Timmins has one of Ontario's higher residential tax rates, but MPAC assessed values sit well below market prices, so a typical home (assessed around $193,000) pays roughly $3,600 a year. When you buy or sell, Ownright prorates the year's taxes to the closing date so each side pays only for the days they own.
Yes, considerably. Timmins' average home price is around $340,000, a fraction of the GTA, and there is no municipal land transfer tax. Most first-time buyers also pay no provincial land transfer tax thanks to the rebate. Ownright calculates your full closing costs up front so you know the real number.
Usually yes. Much of Timmins' housing dates to the early mining era, and older homes often have survey gaps, unregistered additions, or aging records. Title insurance protects against issues a survey or search might miss, and Ownright arranges it as part of your closing.
