A due-on-sale clause in a mortgage requires which of the following?

Correct Answer

B) The loan must be paid in full when the property is transferred to a new owner

A due-on-sale clause (also called an acceleration clause) requires the borrower to repay the entire outstanding loan balance when the property is sold or transferred to another party. This clause prevents a buyer from assuming the seller's existing mortgage without lender approval, protecting the lender's ability to adjust terms for a new borrower.

Answer Options
A
The interest rate adjusts automatically when the property is sold
B
The loan must be paid in full when the property is transferred to a new owner
C
The lender may foreclose on the property without court action
D
Any existing lien is automatically released upon sale of the property
