Whether you’re looking to purchase your dream home, break new ground on commercial development, or to guarantee that the sale of your property goes smoothly, the real estate world can be tricky to navigate on your own. Paperclip Law partners with buyers, sellers, and developers to ensure you have access to the best resources and advice to guide your decisions.
We’ll Do The Heavy Lifting
It’s no secret that Vancouver is home to one of the most diverse and in-demand real estate markets in North America. Staying on top of changing trends, bylaws, contracts and inquiries can be overwhelming, no matter your previous experience in the field. Paperclip Law makes handling transactions a breeze by ensuring you have all of the details and support you need. We understand that real estate deals are one of the most important investments our clients can make and will partner with you to cover every little detail, allowing you to proceed with peace of mind. Paperclip Law assists clients in the following areas:
Residential
Houses, condominiums, bare land and cabins: we handle the buying, selling, and transferring side of your home, including private transactions done without a realtor. We review your title documents, strata minutes, and disclosure statements during subject removal so you know exactly what you are taking on before it is too late to ask.
Mortgages & Financing
We support you when it comes to securing a mortgage or line of credit from a financial institution or private lender, including refinancing an existing property, construction loans, and lines of credit.
Commercial
Commercial property is a hot commodity within Metro Vancouver. From finding the perfect spot for your new office, or selling your current property in order to size up, Paperclip will work with your team to make your transaction seamless and efficient. Our legal experts pay close attention to the fine details, meaning you can trust us to catch any potential issues in advance and set you up for success.
Developments
Property development presents a series of unique challenges and requirements for investors to navigate prior to, during, and after building is completed. Various bylaws, documentation, along with the potential for disputes with contractors and other complications make having easy access to trusted legal counsel a valuable asset. We’ll make sure you have everything you need to develop your property safely as well as protection and guidance once construction is completed.

White-glove service:
We’ve decided to support you better, but a bit differently, through a more “white-glove service” that our clients have grown to love about how we do things. Details on this service below:
- All reviews are done by a living breathing lawyer or lawyer-supervised articled student (not an AI robot, paralegal, or legal assistant).
- We will review any non-financial charge on title in BC.
- Up to 20-minute phone or video call with the prospective buyer to review the charges, impact on land use, and answering questions practically and in a way they understand.
- Email attaching all charges with summary explanations.
- One business day turnaround or less depending on capacity.
How much will this cost (disbursement cost of obtaining the charge is in addition to the legal fee)?
| Legal Fees | Number of Title Charges Reviewed | Fee Per Title Charge Reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| $65 per charge | 1 | $65 |
| $300 per month | 5 | $60 |
| $500 per month | 10 | $50 |
