Leslie Robinson, Your Real Estate Lawyer of Choice
Real Estate Transactions
Buying, selling, or refinancing? LDR Law provides reliable legal support from start to finish. Our office is known for responsive communication, streamlined closings, and transparent, competitive pricing.
We understand that a real estate transaction is a major life event. Whether it’s your first purchase or your tenth, we’re here to guide you through the process with confidence. At LDR Law, we advise clients at every stage of the transaction using a practical approach designed to simplify the process and keep matters moving smoothly.
Many of our real estate files arise in the context of estate administration, family transitions, or long-term planning. Because our practice integrates real estate, estates, and corporate considerations, we are able to help clients navigate transactions that involve more than just a transfer of title.
We act for a broad range of clients across Ontario, including first-time buyers, experienced investors, business owners, and both institutional and private lenders.
How We Help
Buying and Selling Property
We assist clients with residential and commercial purchases and sales across Ontario, including resale homes, new condominium purchases, multi-family residential buildings, and commercial real estate transactions.
New Condominium Purchases
We guide buyers through builder agreements, disclosure statements, interim occupancy closings, final closing adjustments, and Tarion-related considerations, helping clients understand both the legal and financial aspects of new-build transactions.
Cottage, Waterfront, and Rural Properties
We regularly assist clients with the purchase, sale, and financing of cottages, year-round waterfront properties, rural properties, and farm properties. These transactions often involve unique title, access, zoning, septic, shoreline, and financing considerations, and we help clients navigate those issues with confidence.
Mortgage and Refinancing Transactions
We act for borrowers and lenders on mortgage transactions, including refinances, private lending arrangements, and institutional mortgage closings. Our office maintains an active institutional and private mortgage practice.
Private Lending and Investment Transactions
We regularly represent private lenders and borrowers in secured lending transactions, helping structure and document investments clearly and efficiently.
Title Transfers and Land Registry Corrections
We assist clients with title transfers between family members, estate-related transfers, survivorship applications, and ownership restructuring. We also help resolve land registry issues, including correcting title errors, ownership discrepancies, and registration issues.
Real Estate Matters Involving Estates
Our office is frequently engaged where real estate forms part of an estate. We assist estate trustees with property sales, title transfers following death, refinancing to facilitate distributions, and coordination between real estate transactions and estate administration requirements. Because we regularly handle both real estate and estate administration matters, we are able to help families navigate these transactions efficiently and with sensitivity during difficult times.
Complex Ownership and Real Estate Planning
We assist clients with co-ownership arrangements, joint ventures, title structuring, and real estate planning considerations that intersect with estate planning, corporate ownership, or family arrangements.
Land Development and Investment Property
We assist clients with land development matters, including private and municipal development projects, as well as the acquisition and financing of investment and income-producing properties.
