Assumption

Phonetics: as·sump·tion \ə-'səm(p)-shən\

Definition 1:
The agreement between buyer and seller where the buyer takes over the payments on an existing mortgage from the seller. Assuming a loan can usually save the buyer money since this is an existing mortgage debt, unlike a new mortgage where additional expenses such as closing costs and new, possibly higher, market-rate interest charges will apply.

Definition 2:
Assumption occurs where there is an Assumable Mortgage which is a type of mortgage that allows a new home buyer to take over an existing loan from the seller.
