I just paid over $3500 so a clerk at city hall could file a bill of sale into their computer system. The lawyer only charged me $600.
A friend of mine, turned tail, and abandoned this province for brighter horizons. He paid $1200 to the lawyer, and a nomimal fee of $80 to transfer the title into his name. —I Bought A House In The HRM And All I Got Was A Jar of Vaseline

Yes, it’s called a land transfer tax… it’s something you pay – usually to a municipality – upon buying a piece of real estate.
And yes, you’re right – the grass IS always greener on the otherside… Bye!
Now you know to make the seller responsible for the title transfer fee in your purchasing agreement.
there are many costs associated with buying a house, make sure you know this going in. plus, don’t cheap out on home inspections
Not even a reach around?
Now that you’ve loosened up a bit it won’t be a surprize next time around. How about all those other fees and taxes, eh? Its worth it, anyway, having your own place.
Bitches are as dull as ditch water today.
The seller should not be responsible for these fees Mr Harper. And if you ask them to pay these in the agreement the bank then keeps that money and puts it towards your mortgage. No cash back on fees anymore unless its because of an amendment due to inspections. We can thank all the scam artists for this.
Agreed with Reg. Ennui is omnipresent.
