FAQ
The title (or property title) is not a document, but a concept that says you have the rights to use that property. So when you buy a property, you will receive the deed, a document that proves you have ownership. That deed is an official document that says you have title to the real estate.
But you might be surprised to learn that even if the property was purchased via a mortgage arrangement, you still own the home. Your name is on the title as the homeowner. The bank or mortgage company owns an interest in the property and the mortgage note itself — but the lender does not own your house.
The lender holds the actual legal title on the property while the borrower will hold equitable title. The lender holds title to the property in the name of the borrower through a document called a Deed of Trust.
The seller's attorney will give the original deed to the buyer's attorney at closing. That original then gets recorded at the clerk's office of the local municipality. The clerk's office scans and records the document into the land records and then sends it to the buyer or their attorney.
Generally in Toronto, Halton and Hamilton I see most closings fall in the 30-60 day period after an offer is accepted. A “quick closing” would be anything under a month in my opinion. A “long closing” would be anything 90+ days in my opinion.
How long does closing on a house take? Once you've had an offer accepted, the home closing process can take anywhere between 30 and 90 days to complete, depending on several variables.
Some lenders will allow you to stay on a mortgage but not on the title deeds. This may be suitable in certain situations.
Your lender will need an insurance binder from your insurance company 10 days before closing. Check in with your lender to determine if they need any additional information from you. Get a change of address package from the U.S. Postal Service and begin the change of address notification process.
If you don't have a Land Registry record to prove ownership, you will need the physical deed. These documents demonstrate you own the property and can help confirm no mortgages or liens against it.
