agreed with ur intention but the lender needs to be convinced..usually they ask for a declaration for assuming the same liabilities as accepted by the current owner..u have a talk for more clarity on the subject with the lender.

cant say with full confidence as yes because the decision shall be taken after investigating the net worth of new unit, taxaes paid in prev years and other financial criterias like various ratios calcuated etc...it all depends on the lender

banks are more than happy to replace borrowers in case of defaults. As long as you are not looking for hair-cuts, moratoriums etc and have tangible net-worth to sustain loan amount, bank dont have much problem. However, given that banks would be having lien over the assets, they simply prefer to collect their dues from the sale consideration to be paid to the seller and only the net liability may be transferred to you.
