Transparent Legal Fees for Home Buyers and Sellers

At KH | Dunkley Law Group, we believe transparency and predictability are key to a smooth real estate experience. 

That’s why we offer flat-rate fees for all residential real estate transactions. Whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing, or transferring property, our team provides experienced legal support at a clearly defined cost.

Our flat-rate fee structure covers the most common residential real estate transactions, including purchases, sales, refinances, and title transfers. Fees vary based on your property value or mortgage registration amount.

Our flat-rate fees listed below include our professional legal fees, all standard disbursements and office costs, as well as Land Titles registration fees, so there are no surprise charges for things like photocopies, postage, bank wires, file storage, administration, or software licenses.

What Is Included in Our Flat Rate Fees

Our flat rate legal fees listed above include:

• Standard professional legal services for the residential real estate transaction for individuals.
• Preparation of all standard closing documents.
• Preparation of documents required for a mortgage, if applicable, with a mainstream lender (TD, RBC, BMO, BNS, CIBC, ATB, First National, and CFSCU).
• One in-person signing appointment at any one of our office locations.
• Courier charges within Calgary and the immediately surrounding areas.
• File administration fees and conveyancing license fees.
• Fax charges and photocopy charges.
• Payout of real estate commissions for sales.
• Registration of the transfer of land for one title and/or one mortgage, as required, at Alberta Land Titles.
• Title and tax search for one legal title.

Please Note: Prices are subject to change without notice.

What Is Not Included in Our Flat Rate Fees

To be fully transparent and to avoid surprises, below is a list of the more common items that either vary by transaction or are not part of what we consider to be a standard transaction, and therefore are subject to an additional charge:

• Cost of title insurance, estoppel certificates, condominium insurance certificates, and homeowner’s association information statements. 
• Private encroachment agreements.
• Rush transaction fees, additional signing appointments, video-conference signing, and out-of-office signing.
• Corporate buyer, seller, or borrower.
• Assignments of rents and leases, guarantees, assignment or assumption of tenants.
• Additional time spent dealing with issues that arise at closing, including but not limited to negotiation and/or administration of holdbacks.

At KH | Dunkley Law Group, we can also assist with transactions involving leased lands (e.g., national parks, Indian Lands, university district), mobile homes, purchase of properties through a foreclosure process, release of dower rights, and Special Power of Attorney.
