There are real advantages to being a pre-approved buyer:
Before you buy a property, it is wise to have it inspected by a qualified professional property inspector. The cost will be $400 and up depending upon the inspector and the size of the property. In addition to a Home Inspection, the property may also need a Septic Inspection, a Well Inspections and water potability tests or a WETT Inspection of the fireplace. We can provide trusted local inspector recommendations.
If you’re a first time buyer, most or all of the land transfer tax can be rebated.
First, here’s how to calculate the taxes:
Ontario Land Transfer Tax Calculation
0.5% of the first $55,000 of the purchase price
1.0% of the next $195,000 of the purchase price
1.5% of the next $150,000 of the purchase price, and
2.0% of the balance of the purchase price (for residential properties).
For Real Estate in Toronto, there is an additional Toronto Land Transfer Tax.
Your offer was accepted and you’ve submitted the initial deposit upon acceptance. Now what? During the lawyer meeting, you’ll be asked to provide a cheque that will include your down payment, adjustments and any other accrued costs, less the initial deposit. Closing costs incurred on the day of closing include:
Congratulations! The long awaited day is finally here!
Before you officially close, I recommend a final walkthrough where we check all appliances, garage door openers, central vac, hot tub and pool equipment to ensure everything is in working order. If something isn’t in good working order, we will communicate with lawyers and the Selling Realtor immediately to find a solution.
Once the sellers’ lawyer has received the funds on closing day, you’ll receive your keys to your new home, either at your lawyers office, your realtor’s office or via a lockbox on the house. The time of day your home closes varies, so I always recommend moving in at least one day after closing. Booking any moving services on closing day is not recommended.
Once you arrive at your new home, replace locks and check fire alarm and CO detector batteries for safety.
Enjoy your new home!
