Elgin County is seven municipalities south of London, with Central Elgin and Malahide as its larger members and Aylmer, Bayham, Southwold, West Elgin, and Dutton-Dunwich filling out the rest. Treadstone Law handles a closing anywhere in that footprint for one flat, disclosed fee.
Seven municipalities make up Elgin County, and the population split is fairly even — Central Elgin and Malahide are the largest, Aylmer and Bayham sit in the middle, and Dutton-Dunwich, Southwold, and West Elgin are smaller and more rural. Treadstone Law's pricing doesn't track that split: $1,354.87 flat for a purchase, $1,241.87 for a sale, $1,241.87 for a mortgage refinance, taxes included, land transfer tax and disbursements added at cost. The same intake, document review, and signing steps apply whichever of the seven the property falls in.

No — the flat purchase, sale, and refinance fees and the closing steps are the same whether the property sits in Central Elgin or a smaller municipality like Southwold.
Development in a regulated area, and interference with a wetland or watercourse, require a permit under section 28.1 of the Conservation Authorities Act, issued by the conservation authority rather than the municipality under O. Reg. 41/24. Watersheds do not follow municipal lines, and Elgin County is reached by 5 watershed authorities — which one applies depends on where the property drains.
