Assignment or cancellation? Reading your numbers clearly

4 Nov 2026

Before deciding, gather three figures from your contract: the contract value, what you have paid so far, and the penalty and refund terms if any.

In an assignment, the buyer pays you an amount now and continues the instalments. In a cancellation, the developer applies the contractual penalty and refunds the rest on the timeline in the contract.

Use the Dar Exit calculator to separate cash needed now from future obligations, and don't rely on any promise of recovering everything you paid.
