Buying and selling homes and condos, mortgages, title problems, and landlord and tenant matters. In New Brunswick the buyer pays real property transfer tax of 1% when the deed is registered, worked out on the purchase price or the assessed value, whichever is greater.
Real property transfer tax is 1% of the greater of the purchase price and the property's assessed value — $3,000 on a $300,000 home. It is paid when the deed is registered.
Under the land titles system, registering a transfer costs $85 per parcel ($84 plus a $1 assurance fee), and registering a mortgage costs the same again. That is on top of the 1% transfer tax and your lawyer's fees.
