How We Help
Residential real estate help for Central Ontario transactions.
Practical legal support for purchases, sales, refinances, condominium matters, and title-related closing details.
Central Ontario assignment agreements can involve pre-construction homes, townhomes, condominium units, or recreational-area builder purchases transferred before final closing. The assignment agreement may appear simple, but the assignee is usually taking over a much larger builder contract. That contract may include deposits, amendments, upgrade selections, adjustment clauses, occupancy terms, rebate language, and final closing obligations that are not fully repeated in the assignment form.
Goldstone Law PC helps Central Ontario clients review the full package before the transaction becomes firm. For assignors, the review often focuses on builder consent, assignment restrictions, consent fees, deposit reimbursement, assignment profit, and whether the assignor is released from future responsibility. If the documents do not clearly release the assignor, the original buyer may still have risk if the assignee fails to 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 wording says, and when mortgage funds will be required. These details can affect the final cost and should be reviewed before conditions are waived.
Assignments may also raise HST, income tax, and rebate questions, especially where an assignment premium is paid. We identify where those issues appear in the 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 Central Ontario clients, assignment review is helpful because project types and buyer intentions can vary widely. A property may be a primary home, second home, investment unit, or recreational purchase. We help clients understand how the legal documents describe the transfer and what practical issues should be handled before the assignment is firm.

Common Questions
Questions about Central Ontario assignment agreements.
Can you review a Central Ontario assignment before signing?
Yes. We review the assignment agreement and original builder contract so the client understands consent, deposits, fees, conditions, and closing obligations.
What should an assignor confirm?
The assignor should confirm builder consent, assignment fees, deposit repayment, profit treatment, release wording, and whether any obligations continue after transfer.
What should an assignee review?
The assignee should review the original price, deposits, upgrades, adjustments, occupancy terms, rebate language, mortgage timing, and final closing funds.
Can the builder charge an assignment fee?
Yes. Many builders charge consent or assignment fees and require approval forms before recognizing the new buyer.
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.
Does the assignor remain responsible after assignment?
That depends on the original contract, assignment wording, and builder consent. We review whether the documents clearly release the assignor.
What can delay a Central Ontario assignment?
Late builder consent, missing signatures, unclear deposits, unresolved financing, tax questions, incomplete identification, or fee disputes can delay the file.
When should I contact a lawyer?
Contact a lawyer before signing or waiving conditions, especially if builder consent, deposits, HST, financing, or final costs are unclear.
