What does assumption mean?
An assumption of mortgage is a transfer of liability from one borrower to another on an already-existing loan. When permitted, an assumption allows a buyer to take over the seller’s mortgage. Although most fixed rate mortgages must be paid upon the transfer of title, FHA, VA and Oregon State Bond loans often allow for an assumption under specific circumstances.
In addition to our glossary, we have a library of downloadable PDFs that cover assumption, FHA loans, and other mortgage fundamentals.
