Understanding Assignment Sales
What Is an Assignment Sale?
An assignment sale occurs when the original purchaser of a preconstruction condominium sells their purchase agreement to another buyer before the property is completed and transferred by the builder. Essentially, you are selling the right to purchase the condo, not the condo itself. This can be a strategic move for investors or buyers who need flexibility before the final closing.

Understanding Builder Approval and Fees
Before proceeding with an assignment sale, it’s crucial to understand the role of builder approval. Builders must consent to the assignment, and this often involves specific fees. These costs can vary, so it’s essential to review your purchase agreement carefully. Additionally, consider the implications of HST and other taxes that may apply to your transaction. Engaging a seasoned realtor and lawyer can provide invaluable guidance, ensuring a smooth and compliant process.
