Lawyer and Notary Fees in Langley, Surrey, White Rock
On this page (10 sections)
Almost no notary or lawyer in Langley, Surrey, South Surrey or White Rock puts a conveyancing price on their website, so most buyers and sellers cannot compare before they call. This page collects the prices that are published, says exactly what each one covers, and shows what is missing. It is not legal advice, and naming a firm here is not a recommendation: these are simply the firms that publish a price.

Published legal fees by area
These are the legal fee only, before taxes and disbursements, for the standard job: a purchase with a mortgage, a sale with one mortgage discharge, and a refinance with one payout. The range runs from the lowest to the highest firm that publishes the figure. With only two or three firms in each area, treat it as a guide to the order of magnitude, not an average.

LeBeau Law Corporation prints its tax and an estimated standard disbursement beside each fee. For a purchase with a mortgage, the printed $1,475 fee, $177 tax and about $270 of disbursements add to about $1,922. For a refinance, $1,350, $162 and about $230 add to about $1,742. Those totals are our addition of the firm's own printed amounts, not figures the firm states, and the list is dated July 2024.
Other prices that are not a firm's fee schedule
- Spagnuolo LLP says to budget approximately $1,600 for a purchase with a mortgage and $1,200 for a sale (homes or mortgages under $2,000,000), and says third-party charges of a further $750 to $1,000 are not included. Its page does not split the legal fee from the firm's own disbursements, so we did not put it in the fee tables.
- Zancope Notary Public in Langley shows "prices starting from $1,220" for real estate. The page does not say whether that includes taxes or disbursements and does not split purchase, sale and refinance, so it is not in the tables.
- Pacific Point Law in South Surrey does not publish its own fee. Its real estate FAQ describes the general BC market as roughly $1,300 to $2,100 for a purchase with a mortgage and $1,000 to $1,600 for a straightforward sale, plus disbursements, and says it quotes its own fee at consultation.
What is not in the legal fee
- Disbursements: Land Title Office registration charges, tax certificates, title searches, courier costs, title insurance and the strata documents for a condo or townhome. The firms that list them price them separately from the fee.
- Taxes on the fee, which the fee-only figures above leave out.
- Property Transfer Tax on a purchase, which is paid on top of everything on this page.
- Extras that raise the price: each additional mortgage discharge, new construction, a purchase price over a firm's threshold, and some lenders' requirements.
How to compare quotes
- Ask for the fee, the taxes and the disbursements as three separate numbers, in writing, for your exact transaction.
- Ask what changes the price: a second mortgage, a strata property, a new build, a price over $1,000,000 or $2,000,000.
- A BC notary public or a lawyer can handle a residential purchase or sale. Because no notary in these areas publishes a price, you cannot compare notary and lawyer fees from websites; phone two or three of each.
- In South Surrey and White Rock, where nobody publishes a price, a written quote from at least two firms is the only benchmark you will get.

What do lawyers and notaries charge in South Surrey and White Rock?

One South Surrey firm's FAQ describes the general BC market as roughly $1,300 to $2,100 to buy with a mortgage and $1,000 to $1,600 to sell, plus disbursements. Get written quotes from two or three firms.
Are notaries cheaper than lawyers for a home purchase?
We cannot tell from published prices. No notary in Langley, Surrey, South Surrey or White Rock publishes a conveyancing fee schedule, so there is nothing to compare. The only notary figure found was a "starting from" line with no stated basis.
Does the legal fee include Property Transfer Tax?
No. Property Transfer Tax is paid on a purchase on top of the legal fee, taxes and disbursements, and it is not part of any figure on this page.
What is the difference between a legal fee and disbursements?
The legal fee is what the lawyer or notary charges for the work. Disbursements are costs they pay to others on your behalf, such as Land Title Office registration, tax certificates, searches, title insurance and strata documents, and they are billed on top of the fee.
How current are these prices?
They were read on each firm's own website on November 2, 2026. One price list is dated July 2024 and may be out of date, one sheet is dated January 2026, and one page carries no date. Confirm any figure with the firm.
