About us
Client success
Yes. All residential and commercial real estate closings in Ontario must be handled by a lawyer — this applies to Mississauga, including Square One, Port Credit, Streetsville, Erin Mills, and Cooksville. Your lawyer registers the transfer, reviews title, coordinates with your lender, and ensures funds move correctly through statutory trust accounts on closing day.
No. Unlike Toronto, Mississauga does not levy a municipal land transfer tax. Buyers of Mississauga property pay only the Ontario Land Transfer Tax, which is roughly half the combined tax burden of an equivalent Toronto purchase. First-time homebuyers may qualify for a rebate on the Ontario tax. Your lawyer calculates the exact amount and includes it in your statement of adjustments.
No. Real estate closings in Ontario happen electronically through Teraview, so your lawyer’s physical location does not affect the closing. What matters is that they are licensed by the Law Society of Ontario and handle GTA transactions regularly. We serve Mississauga clients from our Toronto office at 100 King Street West.
For a typical Mississauga residential purchase, expect legal fees of $1,200 to $2,500 plus disbursements (title search, title insurance, registration, courier, software fees) of approximately $1,000 to $2,500. Square One pre-construction condos and new build townhomes sometimes carry additional fees due to developer disclosure and Tarion paperwork. We provide a clear written fee quote at the start of every file.
Yes. Square One and Mississauga City Centre have a heavy concentration of pre-construction condo developments. These purchases involve developer agreements, Tarion enrolment, occupancy and final closing phases, HST rebate analysis, and statement of adjustments review — all of which need careful handling. We routinely handle pre-construction condo assignments, interim occupancy, and final closing for Mississauga buyers.
Yes. Mississauga has a significant commercial and industrial real estate market — including the airport-adjacent industrial corridor, Meadowvale, and the office clusters near Square One. We handle commercial purchases and sales, industrial property transactions, commercial lease drafting and negotiation, and lease disputes. Industrial transactions sometimes involve environmental due diligence, which we coordinate with environmental consultants.
Non-resident purchases of residential property in Ontario are subject to the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (currently 25 percent), which applies to foreign nationals, foreign corporations, and taxable trustees on top of the standard Ontario Land Transfer Tax. There are also FINTRAC reporting obligations for source of funds, and cross-border tax considerations that should be coordinated with a tax professional. Our cross-border practice handles these matters regularly.
Mississauga is geographically large and has very different sub-markets: the dense high-rise concentration around Square One, the lakeside character of Port Credit, the older single-family neighborhoods of Streetsville, the planned communities of Erin Mills, and the industrial commercial belt near the airport. Each carries its own typical title issues and closing patterns — pre-construction risk in Square One, heritage easements in Streetsville, and so on. Experienced GTA real estate counsel handles these routinely.
