If a seller expressly agrees in writing with a subsequent buyer to accept that buyer as a primary obligor on an existing transaction in which a mortgage, deed of trust, purchase money security interest arising under an installment sales contract, or equivalent consensual security interest was created or retained in the original buyer's principal dwelling to finance the acquisition or initial construction of it, before the assumption occurs the seller shall make new disclosures to the subsequent buyer based on the remaining obligation. If the finance charge originally imposed on the existing obligation was an add-on or discount finance charge, the seller need only disclose the unpaid balance of the obligation assumed; the total charges imposed by the seller in connection with the assumption; the information required in the case of new disclosures concerning prepayment, late payment, security interests and to exclude premiums for consumer credit and property and liability insurance from the finance charge; the annual percentage rate originally imposed on the obligation; and the payment schedule and total of payments based on the remaining obligation.
