How We Help
Residential real estate help for Caledon transactions.
Practical legal support for purchases, sales, refinances, condominium matters, and title-related closing details.
Caledon assignment agreements can involve detached homes, townhomes, or other builder purchases transferred before final closing. The assignment may look like a short agreement between two parties, but the real transaction is larger. The assignor is transferring rights under an existing builder contract, and the assignee is stepping into that contract with its original purchase price, deposits, amendments, upgrades, adjustment clauses, occupancy language, rebate obligations, and final closing requirements.
Goldstone Law PC helps Caledon clients review the full assignment package before the deal becomes firm. For assignors, the review often focuses on builder consent, consent fees, deposit repayment, assignment profit, and whether the assignor is released from future responsibility. If the documents do not clearly release the assignor, there may still be risk after the transfer if the assignee does not close with the builder.
For assignees, the review is about understanding the contract being taken over. The assignee should know what deposits have been paid, what credits apply, what adjustments may be charged, whether occupancy fees apply, what rebate language says, and when mortgage funds will be required. These details can change the final cost of the transaction.
Assignment files can also raise HST, income tax, and rebate questions, especially when an assignment premium is being paid. We identify where those issues appear in the legal documents so clients can obtain accounting advice before committing. Our role is to explain the legal terms clearly, identify missing steps, and help coordinate builder consent, signing, funds, and closing obligations.
For Caledon clients, assignment review is often useful where the property is a low-rise home and the remaining closing costs may be meaningful. We help both sides understand upgrade charges, adjustment exposure, deposit credits, assignment fees, and release wording before the transfer is treated as settled and the assignee prepares for the builder closing.

Common Questions
Questions about Caledon assignment agreements.
Can you review a Caledon assignment agreement before signing?
Yes. We review the assignment agreement and original builder contract so clients understand consent, deposits, fees, conditions, and closing obligations.
What should an assignor confirm?
The assignor should confirm builder consent, fees, deposit repayment, profit treatment, release wording, and whether any obligations continue after assignment.
What should an assignee review?
The assignee should review the original price, deposits, upgrades, adjustments, occupancy terms, rebate language, mortgage timing, and final funds.

Yes. Many builders charge consent or assignment fees and require forms, signatures, and purchaser information before approval.
Can there be HST on assignment profit?
There can be HST and income tax issues where an assignment premium is involved. We flag legal issues, but clients should obtain accounting advice.

When should I contact a lawyer?
Contact a lawyer before the assignment is firm, especially if consent, deposits, HST, financing, or final closing costs are unclear.
