For South Bruce Peninsula real estate, Treadstone Law works entirely online — from our Mississauga office, not a local branch — covering purchases, sales, and mortgages under one flat, HST-included fee agreed in advance.
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 South Bruce Peninsula-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
South Bruce Peninsula properties are registered at the Bruce Land Registry Office, LRO #3, through Ontario's electronic filing system. That electronic process suits our firm well, since we already run intake, signing, and closing entirely online.
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.
South Bruce Peninsula, a Bruce County town of roughly 9,137 people, follows Ontario's usual land transfer tax rule: buyers owe the provincial tax and nothing extra from the municipality. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, covering title review, mortgage instruction preparation, and closing document drafting. Land transfer tax and disbursements are billed apart from that fee, at cost, and shown as their own line items so the breakdown stays transparent. A cottage purchase and a year-round home purchase receive the exact same fee and the exact same process here.
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 on the South Bruce Peninsula, we discharge your existing mortgage from title, work through the requisitions the buyer's lawyer raises, and release your proceeds once the sale closes. Because land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, it never appears on a seller's statement. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and we send updates as your file progresses rather than waiting until closing to check in.
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 mortgage registrations against South Bruce Peninsula property all run through our Mortgage service for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. Ahead of your closing date, we confirm your lender's conditions have been met and prepare the mortgage for registration, aiming to keep funds moving on time. The fee doesn't change across those three mortgage types.
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.
