A number of things must be done to complete (close) the deal.
Fortunately, your financial institution, your lawyer and agent or builder will do most of the work for you. Your financial institution will complete the mortgage arrangements.
Your lawyer will carry out investigations to make sure the seller has clear title to the home, arrange a survey of the property, if necessary, and draw up the purchase and mortgage documents.
At closing, you will meet with your lawyer to sign the documents, make the down payment and cover the other closing costs. When all this is completed you will be given the keys to your new home.
