VA “Escape” Clause

The FHA/VA Amendatory & Escape Clause is a lender document that each party in the transaction must sign stating that the mortgage being applied for is the only loan being financed on the property; there are no “secret” loans or down-payment sources being made under the table.  The Escape Clause – in layman’s terms – notifies all parties that if the appraised value comes in LOWER than the agreed to purchase price, that the buyer is under no obligation to move forward with the purchase.
