How We Help
Residential real estate help for Scarborough transactions.
Practical legal support for purchases, sales, refinances, condominium matters, and title-related closing details.
Scarborough assignment agreements often involve pre-construction condominium units, townhomes, detached homes, stacked units, or investment purchases where a buyer is taking over an existing builder contract before final closing. The assignment agreement may look straightforward, but the assignee is usually accepting the original builder agreement. That agreement may include the purchase price, deposits, amendments, upgrade selections, adjustment clauses, occupancy wording, rebate obligations, and final closing requirements.
Goldstone Law PC helps Scarborough clients review the full assignment package before the transaction becomes firm. For assignors, the review often focuses on whether the builder permits the transfer, what consent fee applies, how deposits will be reimbursed, whether an assignment premium is being paid, and whether the assignor is released from future responsibility. Clear release wording matters because the original buyer may still have risk if the assignee does not close with the builder.
For assignees, the review focuses on understanding the contract being accepted. The assignee should know what deposits have been paid, what credits apply, what adjustments may still be charged, whether upgrade costs or occupancy fees remain, what rebate wording requires, and when mortgage funds will be needed. Toronto closing costs should also be considered when planning final funds.
Assignment files can raise HST, income tax, and rebate questions, especially where an assignment premium or investor purpose is involved. We identify where those issues appear in the legal documents so clients can obtain accounting advice before committing. Our role is to explain the terms clearly, identify missing approvals, and coordinate builder consent, signing, identity information, funds, and closing obligations.
For Scarborough clients, assignment review helps when the file involves family timing, lender approval, and communication across Toronto or nearby Durham and York Region communities. We help both sides understand what is settled, what remains conditional, and what should be prepared before final closing.
