Practice areas
Home purchases, sales and refinancing
Avantis Law acts on residential purchases and sales and on bank refinancing, along with interim closings for newly built condominiums, townhouses and houses. A mortgage refinance is $1,399 and a sale with no mortgage on the property is $1,499, plus HST, per-mortgage charges and variable fees such as government registration and Teranet fees. A sale also carries a $73 Law Society of Ontario transaction levy. (Fees as of October 2026.)
Commercial property
On the commercial side, the firm advises on buying and selling properties such as pharmacies, retail stores and commercial rental properties, and carries out due diligence before a purchase to check the investment is a good fit. Its real estate team works through many transactions each year, from rural and recreational properties to office, retail and industrial ones.
Students and family sponsorship
Immigration work here is limited to two groups: students, and people who want to sponsor family members. For a student, the firm reviews current credentials and the intended course of study, then draws on its contacts at schools across Canada.
