Take full advantage of your first home purchase.

Per Land Title Act it is required by law that a notary or lawyer finalize a real estate sales deal. It is recommended that you find a notary or lawyer to represent you 2 weeks before the completion date, and ensure they have the capacity to complete your sales.

What do I need to bring to the notary's office?

  • Two pieces of government issued picture IDs
  • A bank draft of the final balance you need to bring in for the remainder of your down-payment.

Common Mistakes

    Mortgage Pre-approval
    • It is important that you have a bank or lender lined up prior to removing subjects on your contract of purchase and sale.
    • Having a mortgage lined up will ensure that you have enough financial assurance to complete the purchase.
    • Any delay in the completion of your new home will mean you are in breach of your contractual terms, and the seller is entitled to ask for additional compensation for the delay.
    Choosing the RIGHT mortgage
    This means that you not only need to shop for the best interest rate, it is also important to understand the terms of the pre-payment charges. Pre-payment changes are the penalties that the bank or your lender will impose on you for breaking the mortgage early in time for a sale or if you found a better rate at another financial institute.
