Cochrane home purchases, sales, and refinances close through Treadstone Law's online process, with legal fees fixed before you ever sign on. There's no branch to visit and no meter running by the hour — just a single agreed number from start to finish.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.

The Cochrane-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Cochrane real property registers at the Cochrane Land Registry Office, LRO #6, with registration completed electronically through ONLAND. Everything on our end — instructions, review, and signing — is set up to work with that electronic system, so there's no paper trip required from you.
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.
Buying property in Cochrane means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, since no municipal land transfer tax applies here — that keeps your closing costs to one government charge rather than two. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, and we build the provincial LTT plus any disbursements into your closing cost estimate up front so you know the total before you commit. Cochrane's 2021 census recorded 5,390 residents across 2,540 total private dwellings, with 2,316 of those occupied by usual residents. We review your agreement, order title searches, requisition off-title matters, and prepare your closing documents so the file is ready on schedule.
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.
Selling in Cochrane is handled for a flat $1,241.87, HST included, covering the discharge of your existing mortgage, responses to the buyer's lawyer, and the release of your net proceeds on closing. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, so it doesn't factor into a seller's costs. We coordinate directly with your real estate agent and the buyer's lawyer so signing and closing stay on the date you agreed to.
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.
Treadstone handles new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against Cochrane properties for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We review the lender's commitment letter, prepare and register the charge, and confirm all conditions are met before funds are released. The same fee applies whether it's a first mortgage, a renewal-driven refinance, or a private arrangement between individuals.
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.
Ontario doesn't require a lawyer with a Cochrane street address. Treadstone completes signing, document review, and closing by phone and courier, so distance from our Mississauga office doesn't affect your file.
No. Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that charges its own land transfer tax, so Cochrane buyers pay the provincial tax alone.
The flat fee is our legal service, HST included. Third-party and government costs — provincial land transfer tax, disbursements, optional title insurance — are billed separately and itemized on your statement of adjustments.
At the Cochrane Land Registry Office, LRO #6, using Ontario's electronic ONLAND registration system.
We build our timeline around the closing date you already agreed to in your purchase contract, starting title review the moment you retain us so nothing slows that date down.
