Legal Help Makes Buying a Home Easier
Buying a home is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or moving into your next place, there’s a lot to keep track of. That’s where we come in.
At Mather & Company, we help you understand the legal side of buying a home so you feel confident at every step. We handle the paperwork, explain everything clearly, and make sure your purchase goes smoothly. Whether you’re buying in Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland, or anywhere else in British Columbia, we’re here to provide legal support for your real estate transactions.
Why You Need a Lawyer When Buying a Home
There’s more to buying a home than just picking the one you like. Once your offer is accepted, the legal work begins—and it’s important to get it right.
A real estate lawyer makes sure:
- The contract protects you
- There are no surprises with the property title
- All taxes and legal fees are handled properly
- Your mortgage documents are in order
- The sale closes without issues
Without legal help, it’s easy to miss something important. We’re here to make sure everything goes smoothly from start to finish.
What We Do for Home Buyers
When you choose Mather & Company to help with your home purchase, we guide you through every legal step, including:
Reviewing the Contract of Purchase and Sale
We look over your signed agreement to make sure it’s legally sound and protects your interests. If something looks off, we’ll talk it through with you before moving forward.
Checking the Property Title
We search the land title to make sure there are no legal problems—like liens, charges, or unexpected ownership issues. If there’s a problem, we help you understand what it means and what your options are.
Coordinating with Your Mortgage Lender
If you’re getting a mortgage, we handle the legal paperwork with your bank or lender. This includes preparing mortgage documents, registering the mortgage, and making sure everything lines up with your lender’s instructions.
Handling Tax and Payment Adjustments
We take care of adjustments for things like property taxes, utilities, and strata fees so you’re not paying more than you should. We also manage the legal transfer of funds on closing day.
Preparing and Registering Legal Documents
We prepare the property transfer form, file it with the Land Title Office, and make sure the property is legally registered in your name.
Final Reporting
After closing, you’ll receive a full legal report and copies of all important documents for your records.
You don’t have to know all the legal terms—we’ll explain everything in plain language and answer any questions you have along the way.
Buying Your First Home? We’ve Got You
If this is your first home, you probably have a lot of questions—and that’s totally normal. We love working with first-time buyers and take extra time to walk you through each step.
We’ll help you understand:
- What each document means
- What to expect before, during, and after closing
- What to watch out for
No question is too small. We’re here to make this a good experience for you, not a stressful one.
