"Assignment is used as a means of securing lending, it secures the bank and serves the borrower" The assignment agreement is increasingly being offered as a means of securing lending instead of a mortgage and is now being adopted more by banks for customer lending.
The assignment provision establishes the fact that the buyer (who is the assignor) can assign the property to an assignee. Upon assignment, the assignee becomes the new buyer. The AC conveys to the assignee both the AC's property rights and the AC's contract obligations.
No Party shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties Parties, and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
What are they? The purpose of an assignment clause in a contract is to allow a party transfer a benefit it is entitled to receive under that contract to another party. A contract may simply be described as a trading of obligations for benefits.
