what does assignment mean in real estate

What Does “Assignment” Mean in Real Estate?

An assignment refers to a sales transaction where the original buyer (the assignor) of the property enables a new buyer (the assignee) to assume the buyer’s rights and duties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement (APS) before the original buyer closes the property. 

The assignee will be the one to complete the deal with the seller. Overall, it’s vital to have an experienced and certified assignment specialist assist you when buying or selling an assignment property in Ontario. Our team from Assignment Pros can provide a smooth and successful experience for both assignees and assignors.

Assignment Sales and HST

An assignment sale is a type of real estate transaction that occurs when a buyer of a pre- construction home or condo decides to sell their rights to purchase the property to another buyer before the construction of the building is complete. This type of sale transfers the purchase agreement from the original buyer to the new buyer (known as the “assignee”)

As of May 2022, the government introduced a new rule requiring HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) to be paid on all assignment sales of single-unit residential or condo properties that are newly constructed or renovated. This means that the assignee must pay HST on the difference between the original purchase price and the resale price.

For example, if a pre-construction home was originally purchased for $500,000 and then sold as an assignment sale for $600,000, the assignee must pay $13,000 in HST (calculated as 13% of $100,000, which is the difference between the original purchase price and the resale price).

It is the responsibility of the lawyers involved in the transaction to make sure that the HST portion is remitted correctly, taking into account various factors such as the date of the assignment and the completion date of the building.

Despite the introduction of HST, an assignment sale still continues to have many benefits, such as being a more convenient way for original buyers to sell their rights to the property without having to go through hurdles of selling a fully completed property.

Purchasing Real Estate in Toronto

Selling Real Estate in Toronto

Real estate lawyers play a key role when selling real estate in Toronto, a process that involves complex legal requirements to ensure a successful and legally compliant transaction. As a seller, understanding your legal obligations and working with a knowledgeable Toronto real estate lawyer are crucial to protecting your rights and interests.

Selling real estate in Toronto is a complex and legally binding process. By engaging a qualified Toronto real estate lawyer, you can ensure that legal requirements are met and your rights and interests are safeguarded throughout the transaction.

Mortgage Transactions (Refinance)

Real estate lawyers can assist with mortgage refinancing. Refinancing your home can be a wise financial move, allowing you to access the equity in your property and potentially lower your monthly mortgage payments. However, the process of refinancing can be complex, and it’s essential to work with a Toronto real estate lawyer to protect your interests.

By reviewing mortgage documents, conducting title searches, coordinating with the lender, ensuring compliance with regulations, and providing legal advice, your lawyer can help you navigate the refinancing process.

Mortgage Refinance​

Transfer of Ownership / Title

Transferring title ownership involves adding or removing a person from the ownership or title of a property, and this process is typically carried out by lawyers.

Aside from the typical reasons related to buying or selling a property, individuals may have various other motives for transferring partial or full ownership of a property. Some common causes for a title transfer include divorce or separation, fulfilling mortgage or refinancing obligations, transfers between trustees and nominees, and survivorship applications to acquire sole ownership of a property after the passing of a spouse or partner.

If you need a Toronto Real Estate lawyer for such transaction, give us a Call !

Assignment of Property

An Assignment refers to a transaction in which the original purchaser of a property (the Assignor), grants another buyer (the Assignee) the right to take over their Agreement of Purchase & Sale before the original buyer completes the transaction.

This type of transaction is mostly seen in pre-built homes and condominiums, where the Assignee will eventually finalize the transaction with the seller (the builder). Until the transaction is completed by the Assignee, the Assignor remains responsible under the Agreement of Purchase & Sale. The Assignor must obtain written approval from the seller to assign the property, and if approved, there may be a fee involved, and specific conditions must be met.

If you need assistance from a Toronto Real Estate Lawyer for an assignment of property,  Contact Us !

Assignment of Property​

Survivorship Application in Toronto

A Survivorship Application in Toronto is a legal procedure used when one owner of a property held in joint tenancy passes away. In such instances, the property is automatically passed to the surviving joint tenant(s) without going through probate or being included in the deceased’s estate for distribution. This process is based on the principle of the “right of survivorship”, a feature of joint tenancy ownership.

The application is a document submitted to the Ontario Land Registry Office that allows the deceased individual’s name to be removed from the property title, effectively transferring full ownership to the surviving joint tenant(s). The application must be accompanied by a copy of the death certificate and any other required documents to prove the death of the joint tenant.

Condo Status Certificate Review

Our lawyer can conduct a status certificate review in Toronto at reasonable rates for condominium units to mitigate unwanted issues or delays. This certificate outlines crucial information, including the corporation’s budget, common expenses, ongoing legal matters, insurance status, imminent significant repairs or maintenance concerns, and the reserve fund. The reserve fund is to be used in the event of major expenses relating to common areas of the condominium such as renovations, or repairs to parking structures or balconies may draw from this fund. Inadequacies in the reserve fund might lead to substantial expenses and higher fees.

During the review of a status certificate, the lawyer will identify potential red flags that might lead to substantial future hikes in common expenses or other unwelcome surprises.

Condo Status Certificate Review​

Property Title Review

The title to a property acts as a legal document that lays out the ownership rights of that property. Conducting a thorough title review is crucial to reveal any possible issues that could affect the property’s ownership, value, and marketability. This process involves examining historical records, documents, and public records related to a property to determine its ownership history, legal status, and any potential issues that may exist.

Real Estate Law Frequently Asked Questions

When to contact a real estate lawyer.

Buyers and sellers will want to contact a real estate lawyer as soon as an Offer to Purchase is signed. Conveyance of a property can be complex and time-consuming – real estate lawyers have the experience and expertise to make sure the process is smooth and headache-free. Your Lawyer can explain the terms in plain language the steps you will need to take and help you guide throughout the process.

What services do real estate lawyers provide?

Real estate lawyers provide a wide range of services, including drafting and reviewing contracts, negotiating deals, conducting due diligence, advising on zoning and land use regulations, handling title searches, and order title insurance.

When do I need to hire a real estate lawyer?

Whenever you are involved in a real estate transaction, whether you are buying, selling, leasing, or managing property, you should consider hiring or consulting a lawyer.

What is a title search?

A title search is a process of examining public records to determine the legal ownership of a property and to identify any liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances on the property.

What is title insurance?

Title insurance is an insurance policy that protects the buyer and lender from losses that may occur due to defects in the title, such as undisclosed liens, boundary disputes, or errors in public records.

What does “disbursements” mean?

Disbursements refer to the various expenses incurred during a real estate transaction. These expenses can include things like land transfer taxes, title searches, title insurance, appraisal fees, tax certificates, software and office charges, and any other costs that are associated with the transfer of ownership from one party to another.

What Happens If I have a signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale but find a better property?

The Agreement of Sale and Purchase is a legally binding document that can be enforced in court. Therefore, it is not advisable to sign a second agreement without the seller's consent to release you from the first agreement, or without being willing and able to purchase both properties.

Can I get my deposit back If I change my mind?

While it is possible to back out of a real estate deal, there are potential consequences. In cases where the seller incurs expenses such as mortgage holding costs or legal fees, or is unable to quickly resell the property, there is a likelihood that you may lose some or all of your deposit. Furthermore, if your offer was considerably higher than the new buyer's, the other party may choose to pursue legal action against you.

What is the Land Transfer Tax?

Purchasing land entails paying taxes to the Province of Ontario, determined by the land's assessed value. If you are a first-time homebuyer, you may qualify for a partial land transfer tax refund.

Please refer to the Government of Ontario website for calculating the Ontario Land Transfer Tax:

https://www.ontario.ca/document/land-transfer-tax/calculating-land-transfer-tax

If the property is located in Toronto then an additional Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax will also apply:

https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/property-taxes-utilities/municipal-land-transfer-tax-mltt/mllt-calculator/

How much does it cost to hire a real estate lawyer?

The cost of hiring a real estate lawyer varies depending on the nature of the work, the type of the real estate transaction, the complexity of the transaction, and the experience of the lawyer. Some lawyers charge on an hourly basis, while others charge a flat fee.

Can I use a real estate agent instead of a real estate lawyer?

Real estate agents can help you find a property that suits your needs and provide valuable assistance in buying or selling a property, but they are not licensed to provide legal advice. It is important to hire a real estate lawyer to ensure that your legal interests are protected.

What is the Agreement of Purchase and Sale?

An agreement of purchase and sale is a legally binding agreement between a buyer and seller that outlines the terms and conditions of a real estate transaction, including the purchase price, financing terms, and contingencies. It defines the rights and obligations of both sides regarding the subject real estate transaction.

What is a contingency?

Typically, certain agreements of purchase and sale contain contingencies (or conditions) that must be met before a real estate transaction can be completed. Common contingencies include home inspections, financing approval, and appraisal.

What is an easement?

An easement is the legal right for one property owner to enter another’s without permission. An Easement runs with the land and binds all subsequent owners.

Can a real estate lawyer help with leasing commercial property?

Yes, a real estate lawyer can help with leasing commercial property by negotiating lease terms, reviewing contracts, and ensuring that the lease complies with applicable laws and regulations. Both landlords and tenants can hire their own real estate lawyers in order to obtain legal advice and other legal services regarding the lease.

What does a real estate lawyer do?​

Real Estate Lawyers handle the Conveyancing of the Property, which includes handling the paperwork that transfers the property title to your name, dealing with your mortgage financing, and coordinating paying the seller the purchase price. Real estate lawyers review the legal documents and issues related to a transaction, including the legal review of the Agreement of Purchase or Agreement of Sale.

Buying or selling a home in Toronto might be challenging since this may be the most important transaction in a lifetime. While making every effort to ensure the transaction is closed smoothly and on time, our lawyers will also assist you in understanding the details of your transaction and strive to be accessible to you throughout the process.

What is an Assignment of Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Property?

An assignment agreement  is a legal document that allows a party to transfer their rights and obligations under a contract to another party. In the context of real estate law, assignment agreements are typically used to transfer obligations to purchase or to sell a property from one party to another. The party transferring their ownership rights is known as the assignor, while the party receiving the rights is known as the assignee. The assignor usually does not need the other party’s consent to the assignment unless the consent is required in the original Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Assignment agreements are often used when a property is sold before it is completed or when a buyer wishes to sell their interest in a property before taking possession. In these situations, an assignment agreement is used to transfer the Agreement of Purchase and Sale from the original buyer to the new buyer.i

What Are The Legal Implications Of an Assignment?

  • The assignment should be written and signed;
  • Assignee and Assignor should be represented by a lawyer to understand the implications of the assignment.
  • All parties to the assignment should be notified.
  • If a builder is involved, their consent is usually mandatory and should be obtained before the assignment is finalized.
  • The original agreement of sale includes duties and obligations that should be assumed by the assignee, such as:
  • Included items;
  • Required disclosure statements;
  • Completion date.

It should be noted that all assignment fees are borne by the original purchaser unless the Assignor and Assignee have contracted otherwise. These fees are charged by the developer. The developer stays the legal owner of the property until the transfer of title happens legally on completion of the property. It is obligatory, that the developer gives written consent for all assignment transactions.

Understanding Condo Assignments in Ontario: A Guide for Condo Assignment Lawyers

  • March 25, 2023

As a condo assignment lawyer in Ontario, it’s important to understand the laws and regulations surrounding condo assignments. A condo assignment is the process of selling a pre-construction condo unit before the closing date to another buyer. In Ontario, there are specific laws and regulations that govern this process, and it’s important for lawyers to be well-versed in them in order to provide the best possible legal counsel to their clients.

The first thing to understand is that condo assignments are legal in Ontario, but they must be done in accordance with the Condominium Act and any other relevant laws or regulations. This means that both the original purchaser and the new purchaser must adhere to the terms of the original purchase agreement, as well as any additional terms that may be added during the assignment process.

One of the most important aspects of a condo assignment is the assignment agreement. This is a legal document that outlines the terms of the assignment, including the purchase price, the closing date, and any other terms that may be relevant. It’s important for both parties to have legal representation during the assignment process in order to ensure that the assignment agreement is fair and legally binding.

Another important aspect of condo assignments in Ontario is the role of the developer. In many cases, the developer may have certain restrictions or requirements when it comes to assignments, such as a maximum number of assignments allowed or a fee for completing an assignment. It’s important for lawyers to be familiar with the developer’s policies and to advise their clients accordingly.

When it comes to taxes and fees, there are also certain rules that apply to condo assignments in Ontario. For example, there may be land transfer taxes, development charges, or other fees that must be paid by the original purchaser, the new purchaser, or both. Lawyers should be familiar with these fees and should advise their clients accordingly in order to avoid any surprises or unexpected costs.

Overall, condo assignments can be a complex process, and it’s important for condo assignment lawyers in Ontario to be knowledgeable about the laws and regulations that govern them. At Falcon Law PC, our experienced lawyers are well-versed in condo assignments and are available to assist clients with all aspects of the assignment process. If you’re looking for legal representation for a condo assignment in Ontario, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 1-877-892-7778 or [email protected] . We’re here to help!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Alex

Closing Cost

There are generally no ‘closing costs’ in a refinance transaction, other than legal fees and disbursements!

Closings costs vary depending on the nature of the transaction. Newly constructed homes (i.e. builder purchases will include the cost of the Tarion warranty, the costs of tree planting, driveway paving, property tax adjustment, extension fees if any, NSF fees on deposit cheques if any, energization costs such as the installation of a hydro or water meter etc…). Not all builders charge the same closing costs. Resale homes do not have any of these costs. Closing costs are usually limited to an adjustment in respect of any prepaid property taxes, fuel oil tank (if any) and prepaid maintenance for the month of closing, in the case of condos. Again, your lawyers’ fees and disbursements may also be considered as closing costs.

The purchaser pays the closing costs, which are paid at the time of closing. These costs are added to the total that is otherwise due and payable. For example, if your closing costs are $4,450, then this sum will be added to the monies that are due to the seller, but will of course be disbursed by your lawyer to the appropriate parties on closing. Your lawyer’s fees and disbursements will be lumped in as well. The land transfer taxes will be paid by your lawyer to the Province and the other closing costs will likely be paid to the seller with your lawyer retaining the monies that are payable to him on account of fees and disbursements and HST.

Closing costs is an umbrella term for various legal fees and expenses that are payable on closing. These can mean anything from closing adjustments such as for prepaid property taxes and maintenance for resale properties, to builder adjustments such as paving, tree planting, Tarion fees, etc…to even Land Transfer Taxes and to even legal fees and disbursements. The term “closing costs” does not have a precise definition and will vary depending on whom you speak to.

The same as with residential, all closing costs are paid by the purchaser.

A CAP rate is a type of ‘rate of return’. In simple terms, cap rate is a calculation of annual net rents (excluding financing costs) divided by the price paid for the property. For example, rents received are 100,000, then you subtract expenses such as property taxes, management fees, insurance costs etc…but NOT the mortgage, say $60,000 leaving you with net rents of $40,000. If you paid $600,000 for this property then CAP rate is $40,000 / $600,000 = 6.67% . There are other forms of ‘rates of return’. Financing will drastically alter the rate of return. Cheap financing will greatly increase the rate of return whereas expensive financing (i.e. high interest rate loans) will result in a lesser return. Since each person’s ability to finance the property varies depending on individual circumstances, the playing field is evened by eliminating financing as a factor and comparing the value of the properties as if they were purchased for ‘cash’ (i.e. without financing). This allows for a better comparison of prices between different properties and in evaluating a property’s potential, market participants need only to refer to a CAP rate with a higher CAP rate being more beneficial to the owner than a lower CAP rate, and thus a purchaser wishes to buy at a HIGHER CAP rate and a seller wishes to sell at a LOWER CAP rate. The lower the CAP rate the greater the price must be because as previously explained, CAP rate is inversely proportional to price.

Whether paying cash or purchasing with a mortgage does not change the closing costs. The only cost that may change are that the disbursements with the lawyer may be a couple of hundred dollars smaller.

Again, excluding the Land Transfer Taxes, the builder’s closing costs vary from builder to builder. A good rule of thumb is to budget for 1.0% of the purchase price on account of closing costs (excluding Land Transfer Taxes). Given the nature of the high prices, it is likely that the closing costs (excluding Land Transfer Tax) would constitute less than 1%.

Refinancing a property in Ontario is essentially a two step process. First, you must be approved for a loan by a willing lender such as a bank and second, you (and most of the time the lender) will retain the same lawyer to receive mortgage instructions from the lender. The lawyer will then prepare the mortgage according to the instructions received from the lender and invite you (the borrower) into his office to sign the new mortgage documents. The lawyer will then receive money from the lender and disburse that money as needed with the net left over to you, the borrower. At the same time, a new mortgage will be registered on your property and in a short while thereafter the old mortgage will be deleted from your property.

Many clients and agents ask this question to assist their foreign potential purchasers with purchasing a property. The simple answer is YES. Any legal entity (individual person, corporation, partnership or trust) whether foreign or domestic, may purchaser real estate in Ontario.

Foreign Buyers

Generally yes, unless of course there is some suspicion that this should not be done for legal reasons. Generally, there should be no reason why the seller would make such a request, unless perhaps the seller has closed all his bank accounts because he is emigrating to another country.

This is a complex question, but generally, if you wish to control the disposition of your property upon your death, then YES, you should have a Will prepared?

Not in and of itself alone. Unlike some Caribbean countries that give out permanent residencies upon the purchase of a property, this is not the case in Canada.

Sure, the lawyer does not necessarily need to release the money to the foreigner and can apply those funds to another pending purchase.

NO. There may be accountant’s costs. There may be increased legal fees to deal with the monies that the lawyer has to hold back and ‘manage’ for a certain time, but as a general concept, there are no additional fees, taxes or expenses.

Yes. Not all foreigners (i.e. persons living in Canada who are not Canadian permanent residents or Citizens) are non-residents for income tax purposes.

Yes, a foreigner who is a non-resident can try to lie, but if the seller’s lawyer suspects that his client is a non-resident, he will not proceed with the transaction on any other basis and the seller will either have to comply with the process or change lawyers. The tax system in Canada is based on a voluntary disclosure system of honesty.

In theory, you can. Again, you must think of the two step process referred to above. If you are able to find a lender willing to lend you money even though you are underwater with your current mortgage, then your lawyer will proceed to complete this new loan transaction according to the instructions that he receives from the new lender.

NO. There are generally no restrictions.

Generally yes. This is a question that should be directed to your local mortgage agent/broker. However, generally a foreigner should be able to obtain a mortgage loan in Ontario given enough of a down payment. Generally, a 35% down payment is required. Furthermore, the foreigner may need to prove some sort of income in his local country that would enable him to support the mortgage loan, but will likely require a reference letter from his foreign financial institution. Credit bureau checks do not account for as much because there is likely no bureau file. Again, this matter should be directed to the mortgage agent/broker.

Yes. Given that mortgage payments, potentially maintenance payments, property taxes and utilities will need to be paid using a local bank account, the foreigner will need to open one. Also, rents will need to be deposited somewhere, obviously.

NO. It may be a surprise to you, but the bank will, with a good standing client who will vouch for the person, be able to open a bank account for the foreigner without the foreigner being present. For details on this matter, you should speak to your local banker.

NO. But proper identification from the foreign country is required. Passport and credit card from a financial institution, or a driver’s license in English.

NO. Other than the travel expenses, there are no additional costs to purchase.

NO. Again, refer to the answer in the previous question.

Generally, NO. A spouse only needs to sign consent on a mortgage that is being arranged on a matrimonial (family) residence. Given that the foreigner will not be residing in the property with his spouse, then the spouses’ signature is not required. This of course does not apply to situations where both spouses are purchasing the property and taking title. In this case, both will have to be present to sign the documentation.

NO. A foreigner can sell real estate in Ontario just like anyone else.

On closing, a seller must provide a special document to the purchaser that says whether the seller is a non-resident or not a non-resident. It is ultimately not the purchaser’s duty to determine whether the seller is or is not a non-resident, unless of course the purchaser has specific knowledge. If the seller advises his lawyer that he is a non-resident for tax purposes, then the procedure outlined above kicks in. If the foreigner signs a certificate stating that he is not a non-resident, then the procedure above does not kick in and the seller gets all his money on closing. The purchaser in this case is free of any liability, notwithstanding whether the foreigner was honest or not. It is the purchaser’s role to ensure that he either obtains a document from the seller stating that the seller is not a non-resident or otherwise ensures that the seller’s lawyer holds back the 25% of the purchase price.
