Homeowners across the Town of Lincoln can retain Treadstone Law for a flat-fee real estate closing — purchase, sale, or refinance — with HST built into the price and no requirement to meet us in person. We handle Lincoln files entirely online from our Mississauga office.
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 Lincoln-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Ontario deeds and charges, including those for Lincoln properties, move through the province's ONLAND (Teraview) platform rather than a physical registry office, so nothing about a Lincoln closing requires either of us to show up somewhere in person.
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.
Buyers in Lincoln pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no additional municipal version, and nowhere else in Ontario is a municipal land transfer tax charged except in Toronto. For a purchase, the price is $1,354.87 flat, HST included — enough to cover reviewing your agreement, searching title, and drafting your closing package. The land transfer tax and disbursements are separate, billed at cost and itemized clearly. Lincoln recorded a population of 25,719 in the 2021 census, and our flat fee applies consistently whether your purchase is a first home, an investment property, or anything else in between.
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.
For a seller, the file runs through three main steps with us — clearing any mortgage from title, answering the buyer's lawyer, and getting your proceeds released to you at closing. Because land transfer tax is a buyer expense, it never shows up on a seller's file. Selling costs $1,241.87 flat with us, HST included, plus disbursements billed at cost and itemized. We work through each stage online and keep you posted so nothing catches you off guard.
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.
One flat fee, $1,241.87 with HST included, covers mortgage registrations on Lincoln properties, whether the loan is new, a refinance, or arranged privately. We look over what the lender is asking for, clear each condition on the commitment letter, and register the charge so the funds can flow. Disbursements are billed at cost, separately from our fee.
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 need a Lincoln street address to work with us — our flat-fee process handles document review, signing, and closing over phone and email, wherever in the town your property is.
No, Lincoln doesn't charge one. Ontario reserves the municipal land transfer tax for Toronto alone, so Lincoln buyers pay the provincial rate.
We build HST into the flat fee up front. The remaining pieces of your closing costs — land transfer tax, disbursements, and optional title insurance — are at-cost charges we itemize for you.
Registration happens electronically through ONLAND (Teraview); the filing itself is done by us, covered by the flat fee — no registry counter, no extra charge.
No — our flat fee doesn't change based on the type or size of property, so a rural or agricultural Lincoln property is priced the same as any other.
