How To Assume A Loan

by Pag-IBIG Financing Admin

Loan Assumption is one of the misunderstood concepts in real estate even among professionals like brokers and agents. A lot of them just don’t know how to go about it or can’t simply do it right.

While it’s true that a Pag-IBIG Housing Loan is assumable, it should be approached very carefully and with the help of a competent lawyer. Once you do it wrong, it could lead to a lot of problems, stressful situations and possibly loss of money.

If you are the one assuming the loan, for instance, one of the worst things that could happen is this: You religious pay the monthly obligation to the loan until such time that it is already fully paid. Suddenly you realize that Pag-IBIG doesn’t recognize you as the buyer and won’t transfer the title in your name. It’s like the original buyer is using “your money” to pay for his loan. How would you react if you are in this situation? Naturally, you would feel deceived. Sadly, a lot of people have been into this situation. And if you know someone who is into this, please do them a favour by sharing this article.

Here, we’ll show you two documents that you can use when assuming a loan and we also provide an sample of each.

The Assignment of Contract

This form is essentially used when one party (the original buyer) to a contract wants to assign his full interest in the contract to another party (the new buyer). In other words, nothing is changed in the contract except the fact that one party is being substituted by another.

When crafting this contract, it is important for the assignor (the party assigning the contract to another) and the assignee (the other party to whom the contract is being assigned) to agree and include an “indemnify and hold harmless” clause. Essentially, this means that the assignor releases full responsibility of the contract to the assignee.

Note: A copy of the original contract should be attached to this form and both parties (and their lawyers) should keep copies of this document.

Sample Form: Assignment of Contract

This assignment of contract is made on (date here) between (assignor name and address) and (assignee name and address).

For valuable consideration, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions:

(list your terms here)

Both parties have signed this assignment on the date specified at the beginning of the document.

(Assignor Name and Signature)

(Assignee Name and Signature)

Notice of Assignment of Contract

Sometimes a third party is involved and needs to be notified in writing when an agreement such as the one above is made. This should be the case when you assume a Pag-IBIG Housing Loan from someone else. The Notice of Assignment of Contract is a document meant for this purpose. On the part of the third party, they are now aware of the fact that a new party takes over the contract and should be the one responsible for all its benefits and obligations.

Sample Form: Notice of Assignment of Contract

Date : _____

To: (Home Development Mutual Fund)

RE : Assignment of Contact

Dear _________________:

This notice is in reference to the contract described in the attached document. (Please see the attachment.)

Please be advised that as of (date of assignment), all interest and rights under this contract which were formerly owned by (name and address of assignor) have been permanently assigned to (name and address of assignee).

Please be advised that all of the obligations and rights of the former party, the assignor, to this contact are now the responsibility of the new party to this contract.

(Name and signature of the Assignor)

Further Notes:

Always consult a competent lawyer when drafting documents of this kind. Don’t make the mistake of just relying on your broker to go about this. I’ve heard lots of stories and complaints from people who did this kind of transaction only to wind up with problems later on. Don’t be one of them.

      Marc,

      Yes, they are basically the same. That’s the way to do it.

      Estelita,

      Please request it from the branch where you got the loan.

    Hello.

      Alvin,

      Pag-IBIG only allows you to loan up to two times provided the first loan is fully paid. Please refer to this article:

    is there a chance that a non-pag ibig member assume a loan?

      Chris,

      This is only available to Pag-IBIG Members.

    how do we know if i am the only interested party engaged in the said contract? Is Pag-ibig notified with the transaction??

    • admin says

      September 26, 2012 at 6:30 am

      It’s the signatories who are the parties interested with the transaction. If the other guy is not interested, he should not sign.

    My parents is selling 1000 sq.m of the 4,000 sq.m lot which is currently mortgaged at the bank. pwede ko ba ito bilhin thru pag-ibig loan lot acquisition kahit partial lang? will the proceeds be used to pay off first to the bank and the excess be given to my parents? ano po bang maging collateral ng loan, ang 1K or ang whole 4K lot, or kelangan talagang ipasubdivide para ma separate ang 1K? Thanks.

    Hi,

    I am selling my house that I have loaned through Pagibig. I have been paying the monthly due for more than 4 years now. A friend of mine wants to buy the house, where they will pay the amount that I already paid for the past 4 years. However, the would like to continue paying for the house via bank loan. Is it possible that the buyer can assume paying for the house via bank financing or they would need to continue paying for the pagibig loan. The reason why they want to pay for it via bank financing because the interest rates are lower, and the payment terms are shorter.

    • admin says

      November 5, 2012 at 3:22 am

      Richard,

      Yes, that’s possible. But it would be simpler and still cheaper if they use Pag-IBIG.

        Thank you for the response.. In relation to my first question, let say I was able to transfer my Pag-Ibig housing loan to a certain bank.. Is it possible to have another person assume the bank loan? If it is possible, do you happen to know the procedure how to transfer it? Thanks..

    Hi po! I have a problem po. Kasi I bought the unit from a middleman. Nung nipakita ko po yung deed of sale sa developer, peke daw po. So I searched for the original owner kasi they are nowhere to be found na daw po. I found the wife of the contract owner po on Facebook and told them na ako na po yung new owner, blinock po ako. Now I am still paying the MA but I want to pay the loan in full na in about 6 years na po sana. Kaso di ko po maga guarantee na sakin mapupunta yung title kasi technically walang legal document na nagsasaad na akin na tong unit na to. Any suggestions po would greatly help.

    • admin says

      November 5, 2012 at 3:19 am

      Gaki,

      The first thing you should do is stop paying for that one until you can prove the legality of the purchase. Use the help if a lawyer or your barangay officials.

      You can start by preparing your documents while you are there, but you really have to apply here in the country at the branch which has the jurisdiction over the property you wanted to buy.

    Hi, got a housing loan for house construction (lot already owned by my father). I want my sister to assume the loan so I can make a new Pag-ibig loan for my own house. Two questions: (1) is this possible? meaning will i be allowed to make the second loan since the first would no longer be in my name? (2) since the loan was only for house construction, there is nothing that officially bears my name (except the loan, of course). so what should be put on the contract as being transferred? pls advise. and great &informative website. kudos!

      I can’t give you an assessment based on the information you provided. A lot of things are still missing. My suggestion is for you to refer your case to the Pag-IBIG branch.

    hi!
    tanong ko lang po kung ano ang procedure if may iassume ako na loan. ito po yung scenario.. babayadan ko nlang sa kanila yung naihulog nila and ako nalang magtutuloy nung loan. Pero wala po akong cash to pay the full amount. ang plano ko po sana is magloan sa pag ibig ng buong amount kasama yung pambayad ko sa kanila at ituloy yung remaining yrs na huhulugan sa pag-ibig.
    pwede po kaya yun? parang ganito po kunwari ang total is 500k, 250k na nahulog nila. tapos un po ang ibabalik ko sa kanila yung remaining 250k ako maghuhulog sa pag ibig. pero since wala akong 250k onhand pwede ko po bang iloan sa pag ibig yung 500k den ibigay sa kanila yung 250k tapos hulugan na monthly yung reaming 250k? if pwede po panu ang process at anong documents ang kailangan?

      This one should be simpler since he is your father. Actually, this is like assuming the property from him and this is very acceptable to Pag-IBIG.

      Please visit the Pag-IBIG branch where you got the loan for more details.

    I am waiting for NOA for the phase 3 Block8 Lot37. I am ready to submit everything here on my end. I deposited 1000 on 2 October 2012 and until now no call or mail from the Branch. It is said from the seminar that it will just take 1 or maximum of 2 weeks for NOA.

    how many times can I assume the pag-ibig housing loan of other members?

  28. ruel says

    March 20, 2013 at 7:52 am

    Good afternoon po.

    I have an active 30-year PAGIBIG housing loan. The unit is a subdivision house and lot, from a developer. I have been paying actively for more than 2-years already. Now, I am planning to have it assumed by a friend of mine (also a PAGIBIG member), he is interested. We seek advise from the branch office and they told us that since the loan has been paid for already more than 2 years, it will be needing a deed of sale already. According to them, after 2-years of payment, the developer will process the transfer of title into my name. However, until now for almost a year already, the developer has not yet processed the transfer of the title. What can I do about it? can PAGIBIG pressure also the developer to process it as soon as possible? Is their a chance or possibility that my friend can still assume the said contract even without it? I needed to dispatch the property as soon as possible because it is already more than a year that we were planning to transfer the contract under my friend’s name.

    Thank you.

    • admin says

      March 22, 2013 at 12:22 am

      Ruel:

      Please check also the status of title with your developer. They may have initiated the transfer process already.

      • ruel says

        March 22, 2013 at 5:20 am

        I am regularly inquiring from them the status, but until now, they have not yet processed it. Actually, the owner developer is busy with his other activities, that is why they dont have time yet to process it…
        Is there anything possible to do so that I can start transacting iwth my friend interested to assume the contract of my housing loan?

      • ruel says

        March 25, 2013 at 11:58 am

        hindi pa daw nila na-process…

    March 26, 2013 at 4:03 am

    ask ko lng po if on proces na ang loan ko?
