REAL ESTATE LEGAL SERVICES IN TORONTO
Property and construction-law support in Toronto
Maki Law helps buyers, sellers, owners, and developers address the legal side of property transactions in Toronto. A downtown condominium, an older house in East York, and a commercial property in Etobicoke can raise very different questions. We connect the agreement, title review, financing instructions, and closing arrangements so you understand the issues affecting your particular property.
Property transactions across Toronto
Our Toronto office assists with matters involving the downtown core, Midtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, York, and East York. The property type matters as much as the neighbourhood: a freehold home, condominium unit, tenanted building, or mixed-use property each calls for a different document review.
Tell us how you intend to use the property, whether anyone occupies it, and whether you expect to renovate. Those details help identify which questions need attention before the agreement becomes firm.
Buying or selling a Toronto condominium
For a resale condominium, the unit is only part of the purchase. The status certificate package can reveal common-expense arrears, reserve-fund information, special assessments, insurance details, litigation, and restrictions affecting how you use the property.
Parking and storage should be checked against the agreement and title documents. If you are selling, advise us of notices from the corporation, outstanding charges, and any changes to parking or locker arrangements. Explore our status certificate review service.
Older homes, renovations, and intended use
Shared driveways, access rights, boundary questions, and earlier alterations can affect an established Toronto property. A basement apartment or advertised redevelopment opportunity deserves specific questions about existing approvals and permitted use.
Legal review does not replace a building inspection, survey, or planning opinion. We help identify the documents and professional input relevant to your objectives, rather than assume that the current use or a proposed addition is permitted.
Understanding Toronto closing costs
Toronto purchases can involve municipal land transfer tax as well as Ontario land transfer tax. The amount and any available refund depend on the transaction and the buyer’s circumstances. Obtain a current estimate before committing your full budget to the purchase price.
Other items may include title insurance, registration charges, legal fees, lender requirements, and adjustments for property taxes or condominium expenses. Our buyer closing-cost guide explains the categories to discuss with our office.
Commercial property and construction matters
A Toronto commercial transaction may require review of leases, access, financing, permitted use, and the seller’s documentation. For a construction project, the legal questions may centre on payment, contract changes, project records, liens, or trust obligations.
Maki Law’s real estate and construction practices work with owners, contractors, and developers. Let us know about urgent notices or disputes early so the immediate issues can be assessed.
Preparing for your Toronto closing
Send the complete agreement, amendments, lender and realtor details, and your intended ownership arrangements. Identify any linked sale, move-in requirement, tenancy, or financing deadline. We can then discuss the retainer, documents, signing arrangements, and funds required.
Our office is at 136A Avenue Rd, Toronto. Contact us to discuss a Toronto purchase, sale, refinance, or construction matter.
