John Zinati

I am a real estate lawyer and partner at Zinati Kay Barristers & Solicitors in Scarborough, Ontario. I help buyers, sellers and borrowers understand the legal steps involved in residential purchases, sales, mortgage refinancing and property-title transfers.

Closing costs can involve more than a lawyer’s professional fee. Depending on the property and transaction, buyers may also need to consider land transfer tax, title insurance, registrations, adjustments and other third-party charges.

Clear information at the beginning of a transaction can make it easier to prepare questions and build a more realistic closing budget. Use the link below to read our general Ontario guide to estimating closing costs.
