A condo assignment transfers a purchaser’s contractual interest in a pre-construction unit before the builder registers the condominium and transfers title. Toronto buyers and sellers often need this service when plans change before occupancy or final closing.
Our lawyers review the original agreement of purchase and sale, assignment clause, developer consent requirements, deposit records, and proposed assignment agreement. John Zinati leads a team that also checks deadlines, undertakings, and the documents needed between the original buyer, assignee, developer, and their lawyers.
Each assignment has its own contract terms and timing. Speak with a condo assignment lawyer in Toronto for a clear review and a fixed quote before you sign.
Posted on Google Jace Armstrong As first-time home buyers, we had an excellent experience working with Zinati Kay on our recent purchase. Leroy, our lawyer, and Karen, our clerk, were both outstanding throughout the entire process. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and with clear communication at every step. Karen was especially helpful in keeping things organized and ensuring nothing was missed, while Leroy gave us confidence that all legal aspects were handled properly.

Our fixed closing cost is $999* + tax for residential purchases, sales, mortgage refinancing, and title transfers. It excludes land transfer tax, government registration fees, and disbursements. Because assignment files can have developer-specific work, we explain the proposed scope and itemized costs before you commit.
You pay nothing until closing, which avoids an upfront legal payment while the transaction is being organized. We have served Toronto and Ontario real estate clients for 25+ years, and our experienced team provides a fixed quote with no obligation when you call.

Clients have given the firm a 4.9/5 rating from 340+ reviews because they value clear explanations during significant property decisions. That feedback reflects communication and service, not a promise about the result of any individual assignment.
Professional title searchers, rather than clerks, handle title examinations because registered interests can affect the eventual transfer of title. Our team tracks contract conditions and developer requirements early, helping leave time to address issues before key dates.
When you book, you speak directly with a lawyer, not a representative, because assignment questions often turn on the wording of one clause or notice. Your lawyer can explain what the documents say and what information is still needed.
The firm has closed over 25,000 real estate deals without a title claim because title review is treated as a core legal task. For an assignment, we explain how the original contract, future title, and available protections connect before closing.
We review whether the original agreement permits an assignment, because builder contracts may require consent, notice, prescribed forms, or conditions before the original purchaser can transfer contractual rights to an assignee.
Our team reviews the developer's assignment package and coordinates required information because consent processes can involve administrative charges, purchaser qualifications, deposit directions, and a deadline set by the builder.
We prepare or review the assignment agreement because it should identify the original contract, deposits, adjustments, closing obligations, and each party's responsibilities if the developer's final closing occurs later.
We review statements, undertakings, and closing directions because the assignor and assignee need a clear record of funds and documents. The original purchase contract remains important until the developer completes its transfer.

You speak with a lawyer about the original purchase agreement, proposed timing, and the parties involved. We identify the documents to provide because an early contract review helps clarify whether an assignment path is available.
We review the agreement of purchase and sale, assignment provisions, deposit records, and developer correspondence. Where timing permits, we also plan the title review because the eventual registered transfer can raise separate title questions.
Our team reviews required developer materials, assignment conditions, and relevant closing information. We raise questions with the appropriate parties because the assignment agreement must work alongside the original builder contract, not replace it.
We explain the assignment agreement, directions, and supporting documents before signatures are delivered. Remote signing is available across Ontario because parties may be in different locations when developer consent or closing preparations are underway.
We coordinate funds, documents, undertakings, and closing communications with the other lawyer and developer. After the assignment closes, we explain the next expected stage because the assignee may still have occupancy and final closing obligations.
