Q. What is an Assumable Mortgage?
A. A mortgage loan that can be taken over (assumed) by the buyer when the property is sold. An assumption of the mortgage is a transaction in which the buyer of real property takes over the seller's existing mortgage; the seller remains liable unless released by the lender from the obligation.
If the mortgage contains a due-on-sale clause, the loan may not be assumed without the lender's consent.
