• Staged deposit structure instead of a large upfront payment
• Brand-new construction with modern layouts and energy-efficient systems
• BC 2-5-10 Home Warranty protection
• Opportunities to select finishes and colour schemes
• Lower maintenance costs during early ownership
• Potential long-term value growth near transit and infrastructure expansion

Many Surrey buyers are focusing on Fleetwood, Bear Creek, and Guildford because of their proximity to SkyTrain expansion, established amenities, and continued population growth.

This is known as a presale assignment.

An assignment allows the original buyer to transfer their contract to another purchaser before construction is complete. Most developers require written approval and may charge an assignment fee.

Buyers should always speak with a BC blawyer and/or tax professional before completing an assignment transaction.
