How We Help
Residential real estate help for Markham transactions.
Practical legal support for purchases, sales, refinances, condominium matters, and title-related closing details.
Markham assignment transactions can involve condominium units, townhomes, detached homes, and investment properties purchased before completion. The assignment may appear to be a simple transfer, but the real obligations usually come from the original builder agreement. That agreement can include deposits, upgrade costs, adjustment clauses, development charges, occupancy terms, rebate language, restrictions on assignment, and final closing obligations.
Goldstone Law PC helps Markham assignors and assignees review the full transaction before the parties become locked into avoidable risk. For assignors, the review often focuses on whether the builder allows the assignment, what consent fee applies, how the original deposit will be reimbursed, when any assignment premium is payable, and whether the assignor will be released after the transfer.
For assignees, the review should go beyond the price being paid to the assignor. The assignee needs to know what contract they are stepping into, what funds will be needed later, whether the property fits their intended use, and whether mortgage approval can be arranged in time. In higher-value files, small misunderstandings about adjustments, rebates, or closing funds can create significant stress.
Tax and accounting questions may also be part of the decision. Assignment profit, HST, income tax, and rebate treatment should be discussed before the agreement becomes firm. We help identify where those issues arise in the documents so clients can seek the right advice.
Our role is to explain the legal side clearly, identify missing steps, and help coordinate the consent, signing, and closing process.
That practical review gives Markham clients a better understanding of what is being transferred, what still depends on the builder, and what needs attention before completion.
We also help clients keep the financial pieces organized. Markham assignments can involve large deposits, premium payments, consent fees, adjustment exposure, and mortgage conditions. When those items are reviewed together, both sides can better understand what is payable now, what is payable later, and what still needs confirmation.

Assigning a Markham pre-construction property
Markham assignors should understand whether the builder permits the assignment, what approval process applies, how deposits and premium payments are handled, and whether the original buyer remains responsible after completion.
Assignees
Taking over a Markham builder agreement
Assignees should understand the full builder contract before they rely on the assignment price. Adjustments, development charges, rebate wording, occupancy costs, and final closing obligations can affect the total cost.
Builder Approval
Consent, fees, and assignment restrictions
Builder consent may involve specific forms, fees, deadlines, and restrictions on advertising or transfer. We help clients identify what must be satisfied before the builder will recognize the new purchaser.

Common Questions
Questions about Markham assignment agreements.
Can you review a Markham assignment agreement before signing?
Yes. We assist both assignors and assignees with assignment review. We look at the assignment agreement together with the original builder contract, amendments, deposits, consent requirements, release wording, and closing obligations.
Why do assignment restrictions matter?
Assignment restrictions can affect whether the deal can proceed at all. The builder may require consent, charge a fee, restrict advertising, ask for updated purchaser information, or impose conditions before the assignment is approved.
What should a Markham assignee review?
The assignee should review the original purchase agreement, deposits, adjustments, upgrades, occupancy terms, development charges, rebate language, closing date, mortgage timing, and final funds required. The assignment price alone does not show the full cost.
Can the builder refuse or delay consent?
Depending on the wording of the builder agreement, the builder may refuse consent, delay approval, or require conditions to be met first. That is why consent requirements should be reviewed before the parties rely on the assignment closing.
Are there tax issues in Markham assignment transactions?
There can be. Assignment profit, HST, income tax, and rebate treatment can affect the transaction. We help identify where those issues arise in the legal documents, and clients should obtain accounting advice before the file is finalized.
Can an assignor remain responsible after completion?
Sometimes. The answer depends on the original builder agreement, assignment agreement, and consent documents. We review whether the assignor is being released or whether any obligations may continue after the transfer.
What should I send for a Markham assignment agreement review?
Send the builder agreement, proposed assignment agreement, amendments, deposit receipts, builder consent package, occupancy details, and any notes about upgrades, rebates, parking, lockers, or adjustment limits. The full package helps us explain the transaction.
Can you help with a Markham condo assignment?
Yes. We review occupancy terms, deposit credits, adjustment exposure, rebate language, builder consent, mortgage timing, and final closing obligations so the assignor or assignee understands the deal before it moves forward.
