1R Plan

[E.S.C.]

Hello everyone,

Let me say that you guys are great. I have been at this for 2 yrs. and after reading the forum I feel like I just started.

Is anyone familiar with a 1R plan that needs to be prepared by a surveyor? How much would this cost?

City wants me to pick up the tab for this. I would appreciate any comments.

A Reference plan is a survey plan developed for various purposes and is registerable....I don't know what your purpose is, or the specifics of your property.

You need to check with an OLS to get a price.  A small property in the city with lots of other plans on neighbouring properties would be relatively easy and inexpensive.  A large bush lot in the middle of nowhere, with no other plans neighbouring, and the nearest monument being miles away, could cost a small fortune.

Here's my story;

The city listed three properties (which are attached) separately. I won two bids (both end units) and it so happens that my friend won one bid, the middle unit. We had decided to collaborate and each take an end unit and JV on the middle one. 
We directed the city on how to take title on the deeds, they were to send out documents for signing and now we are told that we need a 1R Plan (at our expense) in order for them to issue the deed as directed.
Or, they could issue a deed with  both names on all three properties
This is due to the fact that there is only one pin number register at the land registry for all three properties.

I believe that this is their issue and they should resolve it.

Any advise on how to handle this?
Can anyone recommend a lawyer experienced with tax sales ?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. I gather we must tread lightly and work quickly.

Yes... Three roll numbers and one pin number.

I realized  when I was conducting the searches that there was only one pin number and  three properties were on one search. I figured they know what they're doing.

I asked Mr. Tax collector...if three different parties won these how would he have handle this?

Would they tell us that the three of us would have to go on title on all three properties?

The tax collector told me that we should have known that these properties
were one during our search and became very irritated then referred me to their legal department.

Any advise on how to approach these city workers


Thanks again.

 Talk to an Ontaio Land Surveyor: part of their job is to straighten out messes such as this, and a surveyor will be glad to discuss the basics before you award the job. Get multiple quotes.  OLS guys are usually pretty good, and you will, perhaps, get, in the end, all three lots as 3 pieces on one R-Plan. Split the cost among the 3 lots, it will be affordable.
