Real estate closings in Marathon are handled online by Treadstone Law's Mississauga team, with fees fixed and disclosed before you sign anything. HST is part of that quoted number, and government costs are listed on their own.
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 Marathon-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Marathon shares the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, with several nearby municipalities; registration there is an electronic filing rather than a paper one, consistent with the online way we handle the rest of your file.
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.
Marathon buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, full stop — the extra municipal version of that tax is something only Toronto charges. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements broken out as separate, at-cost items. The 2021 census recorded 3,138 residents in Marathon, across 1,602 total private dwellings, of which 1,412 were occupied by usual residents. The same flat fee and online process apply no matter what type of home is changing hands.
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.
A Marathon sale follows Ontario's standard process: discharging any existing mortgage, dealing with the buyer's requisitions, and releasing your net proceeds once the sale closes. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, not the seller, so it doesn't show up on your file.
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.
We register new mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages on Marathon property for a flat $1,241.87, HST included, which covers commitment letter review, preparing the charge, and confirming your lender's closing conditions are satisfied. That fixed price is confirmed before you retain us, whatever type of mortgage file it happens to be.
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 one physically in Marathon — our team runs Marathon files online and by phone from Mississauga, covering review, signing, and closing.
