Real estate

Real estate lawyer in London, Ontario

I act for buyers, sellers and homeowners refinancing across London and the surrounding area. I work from London, and most documents can be signed by video and electronic signature, so you only need to come in if your lender requires an original signature.

Where I act

In London, including Byron, Westmount, Lambeth, Wortley Village, Old North, Masonville, Hyde Park, Stoney Creek, Summerside and White Oaks. Nearby, including Komoka, Kilworth, Delaware, Mount Brydges, Strathroy, Ilderton, Arva, Dorchester, Thorndale and St. Thomas. I also act on files across Southwestern Ontario from my Sarnia office.

Refinances and title changes

Refinancing with a new lender, adding or removing a spouse or family member from title, and transfers between family members. Some title changes attract land transfer tax and some do not. I tell you which before any documents are signed. Title transfers and refinancing →

Land transfer tax in London

London has no municipal land transfer tax, so only the Ontario tax applies. First-time buyers who qualify can receive a refund of up to $4,000. Estimate your land transfer tax →‍ ‍Closing costs calculator →
