Like assignment, novation transfers the benefits under a contract but unlike assignment, novation transfers the burden under a contract as well. ... Novation does not cancel past rights and obligations under the original contract, although the parties can agree to novate these as well.

An assignment is when a buyer sells their equitable interest in a property to another. A novation is when you draft a new contract.

If you want to transfer the burden of a contract as well as the benefits under it, you have to novate. Like assignment, novation transfers the benefits under a contract but unlike assignment, novation transfers the burden under a contract as well.

Contract assignment is tranferring the interest in a construction contract from one party to another. You can transfer from one party to another via novation as well. However, novation is also tranferring the rights and obligations to a third party.
