An Assignment Of Purchase Contract is a crucial legal instrument used in New Zealand when the original purchaser of property or assets wishes to transfer their rights and obligations under a purchase contract to a new party. This document is commonly used in situations where the original purchaser cannot or chooses not to proceed with the purchase, but has found another party willing to take over the contract. It must comply with New Zealand's legal framework, particularly the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 and Property Law Act 2007. The assignment document details the transfer of rights, responsibilities, and obligations from the Assignor to the Assignee, including handling of deposits, purchase price adjustments, and any conditions from the original contract. It's particularly important in real estate transactions but can apply to various types of purchase contracts, requiring careful consideration of GST implications and potentially the vendor's consent.
