At Nixon Wenger we will review title to the property, including reviewing and advising you on charges registered on title such as easements, statutory rights-of-way, restrictive covenants and building schemes.  Our second major role is to convey the legal title of the property from the seller to you.  This includes: ensuring that your deposit is applied to your house purchase, co-ordinating with your lender to prepare mortgage documents, applying the mortgage proceeds to the purchase price, paying the purchase price to the seller’s lawyer, paying the property transfer tax (if applicable) to the Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia, registering the transfer of the land and the mortgage in the Land Title Office, and ensuring that the seller’s mortgage, should they have one, is discharged from title.  Our third major role is to assist you with any legal issues which may arise during the purchase, including for a breach of contract.
