So You'd Like To Buy A Condo By Way of Assignment, Why Choose Us To Help? 

An Assignment means that you are buying a ‘right’ to own a condo that is not in the Land Registry System. Usually the condo has not been built or it is not ready for occupancy and the building has not yet been registered. This ‘right’ is just a paper transaction and not the transfer of the actual property. The closing of the Assignment occurs before the condo is registered. The individual who buys the ‘right’ will eventually close and register their ownership of the condo at some later date.

The Benefits of Purchasing An Assignment

The number of Assignment transactions is growing rapidly. For sellers who bought a new condo from plans several years earlier and whose plans have changed, this is an opportunity to sell before they have to get a mortgage and incur additional closing costs such as that dreaded, double Land Transfer Tax. For buyers who want a brand new condo without having to wait years for construction to finish, or who can not find what they want in the resale market, it represents a lot more choice. Most Assignments are sold on an ‘Exclusive’ basis. They are also more complicated than a regular sale because a mortgage can not be obtained on the closing of the Assignment, and will need to be postponed until the day of registration. Other issues such as occupancy, reimbursement of the seller’s deposits and more must be taken into account.
