HIRE A LAWYER:- Lawyer facilitates the transition of deal, transaction

• Buying a home involves a great deal of legal paperwork. There are likely many qualified real estate lawyers your friends and family can recommend. Your REALTOR® can also share the names of lawyers in your area.

• A lawyer handles all the paperwork for transferring the land title and can help you deal with possible pitfalls like zoning issues, unpaid taxes or liens, legislation or—in very rare cases—fraud. A transfer of title generally takes two weeks to complete.

• Get a fee estimate from prospective lawyers with an outline of their fee structure and be sure to ask questions if you are unsure of anything. Translating legal verbiage into layman’s terms is an important part of their job. (SOURCE-  www.realtor.ca)

Close the purchase

Your offer has been accepted and you can’t wait to move in … don’t break out the bubbly just yet; you still have to close the deal. Your REALTOR® and lawyer will do most of the closing work, but here’s a checklist to follow:

• Immediately begin satisfying any conditions of the agreement that require action on your part. Your REALTOR® can fill out the documents confirming the conditions have been satisfied.

• Ask your lawyer to begin searching title to the property. This can take a while, so make sure you allow ample time.

• Well before closing, arrange your homeowner’s insurance to kick in on your closing date. Your insurance broker will give you a “binder letter” certifying that you’re covered. You can’t get a mortgage without this letter.

• Contact your lender and have them finalize your mortgage documents. Make sure your lawyer reviews them before you sign.

• Your lawyer will transfer essential utilities like hydro and water but you’ll have to make sure telephone and cable companies switch their services to your new address.

• If you rent, be sure to give the required notice to your landlord or sublease your apartment.

• Begin planning your big move. Where are those cardboard boxes?

• Send out your change of address information and fill out a card at the post office. Contact the appropriate provincial agencies about changing your other identification cards.

• Walk through your new home one more time with your REALTOR®. Don’t forget the measuring tape to start planning your furniture arrangement.

• A day or two before closing, you’ll meet with your lawyer to sign the closing documents. Your lawyer will tell you in advance what certified cheque(s) you’ll need to seal the deal. (Source- www.realtor.ca)
