(1)How to get a Mortgage for a New Build Condo Assignment?

 

(2) An assignment is a REAL ESTATE sales transaction where the original buyer of a property (the “assignor”) allows another buyer (the “assignee”) to take over the rights and obligations of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale by THE ORIGINAL BUYER (THE ASSIGNOR), before THE CLOSING on the property. The assignee is the one who ultimately CLOSES the deal with the BUILDER.

ASSIGNMENT IS LIKE SELLING THE CONTRACT TO ANOTHER BUYER.  THIS IS COMMON TO PREBUILT CONDOS AND HOMES. 

 

THE ASSIGNOR AND THE ASSIGNEE negotiate the terms of the Assignment Sale, such as the Assignment Purchase Price, Real Estate Deposit/s, and other costs.

 

It is important to note that the Builder will need to signoff on this Assignment Sale.
