You will get the options like transferring an assumable mortgage by requesting your lender to make the change, refinancing the loan in the new owner’s name, transferring when the situation demands a loan’s “due on sale” clause, etc. If a loan is assumable that means you can transfer the mortgage to anyone else.
Is it normal for your mortgage to be transferred?

How long does a mortgage transfer take?
Typically it takes around 6 weeks to remortgage, although it is possible to do it within a week if your broker, bank and solicitor are all aware of a pressing completion date.
Can a mortgage be transferred from one person to another?

How does a transfer of ownership of a home work?
These transfers work by either adding a person to the home’s deed, removing a deceased owner from the home’s deed, or having the spouse giving up ownership sign a quitclaim deed.

How can I transfer my assumable mortgage to another person?
Transfer an assumable mortgage by asking your lender to make the change. Refinance the loan in the new owner’s name only. Transfer when the situation does not trigger a loan’s “due on sale” clause.
What happens to your mortgage when you move to a new home?
When moving home, you can either transfer your current mortgage over to your new property – called porting – or find a new deal altogether by remortgaging with your existing lender or a different one. It’s worth talking to your current mortgage provider or a broker who will advise you on which path to take.
