Assumption of loan

Assumption of loan to an existing mortgage loan is nothing but to obtain consent from the seller in prior for purchasing a property. There are a lot of advantages, as well as disadvantages to the purchaser regarding the purchase of a sellers property. Pre-negotiations by the purchaser involving the seller and the property is a great advantage as the existing seller can transfer the property to the seller and provide a loan to the seller upon satisfaction and with certain condition upon the same. In many situations, the loan assumptions by the purchaser can also save the purchaser time as well as money.

Normally, the loan assumption documents can be provided to the purchaser within less than 30 days, before the closure of the transaction. Moreover, assumption of loan requires less documentation, as this may reduce the further administrative and legal expenses upon the purchaser. Loan assumptions can also be of favor to the purchaser, to benefit from the interest rates and pre-negotiated terms between the purchaser and the seller. Of course, it is more beneficial than the market prices and terms of an organization. And, the purchaser has to be very careful and aware of the provisions of the loan before any loan assumptions made regarding the property. Unlikely, some loan assumptions are really lengthy and complex for the purchaser and as well as for the understanding for the seller. Hence, it is recommended that the purchaser read and understand the terms and policies before discussing about the loan assumptions to the seller.
