Whether you’re buying your first home, negotiating a commercial lease, or working through a property dispute, having the right legal guidance can protect your interests and help transactions go smoothly. At Woodbine Legal Services, we assist individuals, businesses, developers, and investors in Central Alberta with a wide range of real estate matters — providing clear, practical advice at every stage.

Real Estate Legal Fees

Every real estate transaction involves two components: legal fees and disbursements. Legal fees cover the legal work performed on your matter. Disbursements are out-of-pocket costs incurred during the transaction, such as title searches, registration fees, and other third-party expenses. These are billed separately and will be outlined clearly before your matter proceeds.

Legal fees may vary based on the complexity of the transaction. Our standard fees are as follows:

How We Can Help

Residential and Commercial Transactions

Real estate transactions involve significant financial and legal commitments. We assist clients with purchases, sales, and negotiations — helping to review agreements, identify potential issues, and ensure the process moves forward with as few complications as possible. Whether you are acquiring a home, an investment property, or a commercial space, we work to ensure your interests are protected throughout.

Commercial Leasing

Commercial lease agreements can be lengthy and complex, with terms that carry long-term consequences for your business. We assist landlords and tenants in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating commercial leases — helping you understand your obligations and rights before you sign.

Land Acquisitions

Acquiring land involves more than signing a purchase agreement. Zoning considerations, title reviews, and regulatory requirements all play a role in determining whether a property suits your intended use. We assist clients navigating land acquisitions with an eye toward identifying and addressing potential issues early in the process.

Zoning and Land Use

Understanding how land use regulations apply to a property is essential for developers, investors, and business owners. We provide guidance on zoning matters and land use approvals, helping clients understand what is permitted and what steps may be required to move a project forward.

Property Disputes

Disputes involving property — whether between neighbours, co-owners, landlords and tenants, or buyers and sellers — can be stressful and disruptive. We assist clients in understanding their legal position and working toward a resolution.
