One of the safest and most rewarding investments you can make is in real estate. Since homes are an appreciating asset, purchasing one is a less risky financial move than, say, investing in stocks, which may experience significant ups and downs in value.

Once you have made an offer on a property and that offer has been accepted, a land survey and title search should be conducted. The seller’s attorney will prepare an Agreement for Sale. Upon signing you will typically need to pay a deposit of 10% to 20% and the balance will then be paid in instalments.

If a purchaser is obtaining financing, additional costs will be incurred, as the purchaser will be responsible for the legal fees for preparation of the mortgage, documentation, and Stamp Duty, of approximately 6% of the loan amount. This is generally referred to as the closing cost.
