Assumption FAQ's

Assumption Information

What is a loan assumption?

An assumption is a transaction in which a person takes over responsibility for the loan exactly as it is. The terms, interest rate, principal balance and monthly payments do not change. The monthly payments are made without lapse.

Do all types of homes qualify for an assumption?

We are unable to process an assumption on homes that are Manufactured, Mobile, or Modular. Please contact a local PNC Mortgage office in your area for assistance in transferring this type of property.

Does the buyer have to qualify for an assumption? If so, how long will that take?

Most loans that are assumable will require qualification. We will run a credit report on the buyer, verify the buyer's employment and income. The qualification process takes about 4-6 weeks.
