Toronto Commercial & Residential Real Estate Lawyers

Purchasing or leasing a property can often be the single largest expense for an individual or a business. With the amount of money involved and the fluctuating state of the real estate market, it is not surprising that every purchase and sale or lease comes with inherent legal and financial risk.

The real estate lawyers at Baker & Company have been guiding buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants through various aspects of real estate transactions for many years. We have seen the market at its best and at its worst and have provided reliable, pragmatic legal advice and risk management at every stage.

We are both everyday trusted advisors and problem solvers. As advisors, we steer our clients through issues and questions that may arise on a day-to-day basis. We provide proactive guidance and advice intended to address matters before they escalate into major issues. As problem solvers, we respond quickly and efficiently where a serious concern presents itself and where legal intervention is required.

Our Residential Real Estate Services 

The real estate lawyers at Baker & Company have a reputation for closing residential purchases, sales, and refinance transactions smoothly and without surprises.

Whether you are buying or selling your home, cottage, investment property, or vacant land, we can assist you from the beginning to the end of the transaction.

At Baker & Company, we regularly advise on a wide range of legal issues related to real estate transactions, including:

• Agreements of purchase and sale, including new build agreements of purchase and sale;
• Co-operatives;
• Co-ownership agreements;
• Purchase and sale transactions;
• Property Disputes (including encroachments, adverse possession, easement disputes, and neighbour disputes);
• Real estate development;
• Refinancing transactions;
• Title Examinations; and
• Zoning & Land Use.

We represent individuals and families in all kinds of real estate matters. We act diligently to ensure you have a positive and stress-free experience. We also ensure that our clients have contact with, and access to, their lawyer, rather than dealing solely with law clerks throughout the progress of their transaction.

If you are unable to make it to our offices in person, arrange a remote face to face meeting with us using Skype and save yourself the time and trouble of navigating downtown. Teranet technology allows us to complete real estate transactions anywhere in Ontario. Close your cottage transaction with us without leaving town.
