What is an assignment sale?

An assignment is a sales transaction where the original buyer of a property (the “assignor”) allows another buyer (the “assignee”) to take over the buyer’s rights and obligations of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, before the original buyer closes on the property (that is, where they take possession of the property). The assignee is the one who ultimately completes the deal with the seller. In other words, an assignment clause allows the buyer of a home to sell the place before they take possession of it. Although an assignment sale is possible for both home and condos, it’s much more popular among condo pre-construction buyers.

How do assignment sales work?

Typically, when assignment sales takes place, the seller is looking for a buyer who can provide him with a purchase deposit that equals what he had to put down – usually 20% of the original purchase price. After providing the seller with this sum, the deposit paid to the builder now becomes the new purchasers deposit. Any upside to the seller can be paid based on the negotiated terms – sometimes when the seller gets a mortgage for the condo, or even earlier – it’s all based on terms of the assignment deal.

Overall, assignments sales are not to be overlooked – there can be some fantastic opportunities to get into a highly desirable building that you may have missed out on or purchase a condo that you may otherwise not have had access to. But the importance of working with a realtor and lawyer who know the ins and outs of these deals is the key to making them work for you.
