Real Estate Lawyers.ca LLP's Community Response
COVID-19 Mortgage Refinance Promotion
Effective April 6, 2020, we are doing our part to help our clients during these financially stressful times by reducing our posted refinance flat rate legal fee by 50% (for CIBC, TD, RBC, SCOTIA, BMO and National Bank). All other financial institutions are 25% off - not to be included with any other offer (ie: $100 credit for review). This discount shall remain in effect only for those mortgage refinances received in our system while Ontario is in a declared state of emergency. Not applicable for any transaction that has already closed.
Option for Home Inspections During COVID-19 Situation
Home Protection Solutions allows for a sell-side home inspection to be completed which gives more transparency to potential buyers and comes with a transferable home warranty that is triggered upon sale.

INSERT THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES INTO SCHEDULE A
The Buyer shall pay the balance of the purchase price, subject to the usual adjustments by wire transfer. The parties acknowledge and agree that all closing documentation can be signed electronically and forwarded by email or fax in accordance with the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000, S.O.2000,c.17 The parties agree that the keys to the property shall be left in a lock box at the property and the code to the same is to be provided to the Buyer’s lawyer in escrow pending closing of this transaction. The parties herein acknowledge and agree that they are required to close this transaction notwithstanding any impacts of COVID-19, save and except the closing of the Land Registry Office(s) and all financial institutions. In the event the closing cannot occur due to a shutdown/disruption of the Land Registry System and/or banking system, then the closing date shall be automatically extended to the fifth (5th) business day following the date upon which said systems have returned to operational status and can clear funds accordingly. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that due to measures taken by the Provincial Government in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, there could possibly be a delay at land registration that would affect the actual registration date from the date herein contemplated. In such event, the Buyer and Seller hereby agree to extend the completion date of this transaction until the next possible date following the scheduled date of completion that registration could actually be effected, with no additional charges being made to the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Buyer’s title Insurer has provided “gap coverage” to the Buyer, and all closing funds have been paid to the Seller’s Solicitor in trust, keys may be released (possession transferred) to the Buyer with title transfer and registration to take place at a later date. In such circumstances all expenses and risk related to the property shall be the responsibility of the Buyer from the date of such escrow closing.
