Our lawyers are professionally trained experts in preparing detailed legal documents for real estate transactions and mortgage transactions. We work on real estate transactions daily, not occasionally, and this is how we keep up with the ever-changing nature of real estate. We have successfully completed thousands of real estate transactions for Homebuyers and Sellers in the Ottawa area over the last 25 years.
Negotiations in real estate takes place at all hours and we are always available when you need us
Contact us anytime. We are happy to provide you with a free, no obligation review of your Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Our clients tell us all the time that this service eliminates the stress of real estate negotiations and we are happy to provide it at all hours of the day.
More importantly, one of our lawyers is always available to provide legal advice before and after the closing of your transaction. Our telephone system gives you access to our after-hours pager service.
Make sure the legal documents you sign protect you
Our first priority and our legal duty is to look out for the interests of our clients. We report to our clients and no one else. We are not associated with or employed by anyone, other than our clients. Our commitment is to provide sensible and unbiased legal advice and to serve our clients to their complete satisfaction.
Our lawyers are all members in good standing of the Law Society of Upper Canada and are fully insured by the Lawyers' Professional Indemnity Company.
Time saving and reducing the hassles and worries associated with the purchase or sale of a home
We know that you are busy and that your time is valuable. You can depend on us to look after your interests. Peace of mind permits you to do the things you want to do while we act as your lawyer.
We complete real estate transactions and mortgage transactions almost every business day of the year. This is what we do best. We know the law and are licensed under Teranet, the electronic registry system of the Province of Ontario which is now mandatory.
In addition we have a long standing working relationship with the realtors of Ottawa and the Ottawa Real Estate Board, the banks, the mortgage brokers, all new home builders and all title insurance companies. Our commitment is to work with the various parties involved in your transaction and to complete the transaction to your complete satisfaction.
Our legal fees are very competitive and we provide a written closing costs budget up front
Our clients tell us time and time again that they need a clear, concise and complete budget for their transaction, and we provide it. Every one of our clients receives a written statement of legal fees and disbursements up front. Our clients do not experience last minute surprises in their budget. An important element of a good solicitor-client relationship is an up-front understanding of your legal costs.
Today, many clients who have entered into standard real estate transactions are requesting fixed closing costs to assist them with their budgeting. We can provide a fixed closing costs budget upon your request. There is absolutely no obligation. Contact us anytime.

Title Insurance
|
|
Title Insurance is available to our clients and we make all the arrangements to put it in place.
Today in Ontario, Title Insurance is purchased by almost everyone who is buying a home because of the after-closing protection it provides.
Title Insurance is an insurance policy that provides Homebuyers (and their mortgage lender, if any) with broad coverage for many of the risks associated with buying a home. The insurance allows the Homebuyer to make a claim directly with the Title Insurance Company, much as they would do with a fire or automobile insurance. If the claim is covered under the Title Insurance policy, the Title Insurance Company either pays to rectify the problem (e.g. moving a garage off a neighbour's property line) or to compensate the appropriate parties to the full value of their Title Insurance policy. In addition, the Title Insurance Company will pay the cost of legally defending the Homebuyer's title if he or she, after closing, faces a challenge to the title of their property.
Quick Facts about Title Insurance
Savings in Legal Costs
Our experience has proven that using Title Insurance in a typical home purchase in the Ottawa area saves the Homebuyer over $700.00. Using Title Insurance reduces legal disbusements and legal fees.
No More Survey Problems
Banks and other mortgage lenders traditionally required Homebuyers to obtain a building location survey. In the past, the Homebuyers had to pay between $1000.00 and $2000.00 if an updated building location survey was not available. Today, Title Insurance is accepted in lieu of a survey. Of course if a homebuyer would like a buyer's location survey, we are pleased to make the necessary arrangements.
Fast Streamlined Real Estate Closings
Title Insurance makes it possible to complete a transaction for a Homebuyer faster than ever before. Today, a fast closing does not put the Homebuyer at an unreasonable risk because Title Insurance is available.
No More Last Minute Complications
Title Insurance can guarantee the closing of the transaction because last minute complications will not delay or scuttle the deal.
Home Seller's Problem Solver
Home Sellers are frequently required to solve technical problems which affect their ownership of the property being sold. The problem is that often a fast-approaching closing date does not provide sufficient time to the Home Seller and the solicitor. Title Insurance, in most cases, is the best solution and permits the Home Seller's transaction to close without undue expense or delay.
McGuinty Law Offices Makes All The Arrangements
We will take all the necessary steps to put the Title Insurance policy in place. There is no demand on the Homebuyer's or Seller's time. There are no additional legal fees for this service, just the one time premium payable to the Title Insurance Company. The premium is approximately $278 for a property with a sale price of up to $500,000.00.
