We understand the value in knowing up front what our legal services will cost.
In most cases we are able to offer flat rate fees, giving you the peace of mind that the price you’re quoted is what you will pay. No surprises.
An important note: On October 20, 2024 the Alberta government imposed a fee increase on Land Titles registrations, including Transfers of Land and Mortgage registrations. The increase nearly tripled registration costs for home buyers and those refinancing existing properties. Curious about how much of our flat-rate fee goes to Land Titles registration costs? See our Land Title registration costs table below.
Our real estate flat-rate fees include all regular disbursements, including document registration fees at the Land Titles Office (title transfer registration, mortgage registration, mortgage discharge, etc.), local courier charges, photocopy and fax charges, etc. As always, there are no additional fees for signing appointments at a location other than our office.
