Belleville runs as its own single-tier City, home to about 55,071 people, and Treadstone Law handles real estate closings there start to finish online — no office visit anywhere in the process. Purchases, sales, and mortgages are each billed at one flat, HST-included price.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.

The Belleville-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Belleville properties are registered at the Hastings Land Registry Office (LRO #21), with the actual filing done electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) — the same electronic system our fully online process is built on.
You don’t “set up” property tax — we prorate it. The statement of adjustments credits whoever prepaid; after closing, the municipality bills you directly and you can enrol in pre-authorized payments.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
As a single-tier municipality in Hastings County, Belleville doesn't add any municipal land transfer tax to your closing — only Toronto does that in Ontario, so Belleville buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax alone. We include an estimate of that tax, along with any rebate you may be eligible for, in the closing cost summary we prepare for you early in the file. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, across every property type; disbursements and the provincial land transfer tax are additional and billed at cost.
Financing, inspection, status certificate — your offer’s conditions are legal protections, and waiving them is a legal decision. We review before you sign and flag the risks in plain language.
Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.
When you sell property in Belleville, we handle the discharge of your existing mortgage, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and prepare the closing package needed to transfer the title. Your net proceeds are calculated and released to you as soon as closing funds are confirmed. As the seller, land transfer tax isn't your responsibility, so it has no impact on your statement of adjustments. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included.
Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.
We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.
Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages on Belleville properties are all handled under our Mortgage service for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. That includes reviewing your lender's commitment letter, preparing and registering the charge against title, and confirming the lender's closing conditions have been met.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.
Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.
Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
You don't have to visit a Belleville office to get dedicated local service. From your first document to the final closing call, our process for Belleville clients runs online and by phone.
No. Belleville is not Toronto, which is the only Ontario municipality with its own land transfer tax. Belleville buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only.
It covers our legal fees and includes HST. Government charges such as the provincial land transfer tax and optional costs like title insurance are itemized on their own, so the breakdown is always transparent.
The Hastings Land Registry Office, numbered LRO #21, registers Belleville transactions, with the filing itself done electronically through ONLAND (Teraview).
Not at all. With roughly 55,071 residents, Belleville is a single-tier City in Hastings County, but our approach doesn't scale with population — every file gets the same flat fee and paperless closing, city or town.
Below are official government and land registry resources for Belleville buyers, sellers, and homeowners who want to look at the primary sources themselves.
