Seller Questions
What legal documents do I need to sell a house in Ontario?
You will usually need the agreement of purchase and sale, ID, mortgage payout details, and lawyer-prepared closing paperwork. Condos and special situations can require extra documents.

Selling a house in Ontario involves several legally binding documents, and Flowers Team Real Estate, with over 25 years and thousands of transactions in Milton and Halton Region, manages every one of them on your behalf — ensuring nothing is missed, misrepresented, or legally problematic.

  • Listing agreement — the contract between you and your listing brokerage. Flowers Team reviews every clause with you before signing.
  • Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) — the binding contract between buyer and seller containing price, conditions, deposit terms, inclusions, and closing date.
  • Survey / Reference Plan — a drawing of your lot showing boundaries, dimensions, and any easements or encroachments. Buyers' lawyers and lenders often require this.
  • Title documents — your lawyer confirms there are no liens or encumbrances affecting the sale and handles the transfer of ownership through Ontario's land registry system.
  • Mortgage discharge documents — if you have an existing mortgage, your lawyer coordinates its discharge on closing.
  • Condition waivers and fulfillment certificates — if the offer contained conditions, signed waivers or fulfillment documents are required before the deal goes firm.
  • Schedule B and other schedules — additional terms, clauses, and inclusions/exclusions added to the APS.

Every document in an Ontario real estate transaction carries legal weight. Flowers Team Real Estate has prepared and reviewed thousands of real estate agreements over 25+ years. We ensure you understand every clause you sign. Contact us to get started.
