Addendum to Purchase Agreement - Assumption Financing
Overview of this form

FAQ
An assumable mortgage allows a homebuyer to assume the current principal balance, interest rate, repayment period, and any other contractual terms of the seller's mortgage. Rather than going through the rigorous process of obtaining a home loan from the bank, a buyer can take over an existing mortgage.
There are also fewer closing costs associated with assuming a mortgage. This can save money for the seller as well as the buyer. If the buyer is gaining a lower interest rate, the seller may find it easier to negotiate a price closer to the fair market asking price.
A seller financing addendum outlines the terms under which the seller of a property agrees to loan money to the buyer in order to purchase their property.
When a buyer "assumes" a loan, it has to be done with lender's approval. An assumption agreement is prepared by the lender and signed by the buyer during escrow.
An assumption clause is a provision in a mortgage contract that allows the seller of a home to pass responsibility for the existing mortgage to the buyer of the property. In other words, the new homeowner assumes the existing mortgage and?along with it?ownership of the property that secures the loan.
Until the seller is released from liability by the lender, they are responsible for the debt, and nonpayment by the would-be assumer of the loan could negatively impact their credit score.
How to write an addendum to a contract Consider and mirror the language of the original contract. Choose an addendum title. Make clear the parties involved. Clarify the part of the original contract the addendum refers to. Ensure compliance with the original contract and all other relevant regulations.
A loan assumption agreement is an agreement between a lender, original borrower, and a new borrower, where the new borrower agrees to assume responsibility for the debt owed by original borrower. These agreements are commonly seen in mortgages and real estate.
