Any one knows what is lawyer fee while buying house

Can some one write roughly figure?

Like is it $800-1000 or $8000-10000

What that fee include ?

Like Registration of house etc..

Is it called Legal Fee?

Thanks

It's more like the 1000-1500

Includes:
Lawyers fees
fees for transfer of Hydro, Gas, water connections
registration

Additionally you'll be looking at land transfer tax, any adjustments the seller has made like pre-paid property tax or condominium fees (if)

If you've kept 8000-10000 aside, I could use some

In Ontario, you need a lawyer to close a home purchase irrespective of whether you are buying a resale or new from developer.

The lawyer fees for "purchase" for home under half million dollar is usually around 1100 including disbursements & title insurace and exclusive of registration, taxes (if any) and title search fees.
