A bank has a loan that was identified on the application as a construction loan. Turns out the property was picked up and moved to a different location, and the first lien was paid off with the "construction loan". Do you think in a case like this a right of rescission should have been provided since it was essentially a refinance of a first lien on their primary residence? To add to the confusion, the loan doubled in size and is set for a 12 month maturity

They own the property (house)before it was moved? What was the additional $$ used for? My guess would be they needed it to prepare the site the house was moved to (foundation, utilities, etc.)Was this their primary residence before the house was moved? Did you have that loan? Did they already own the land it was moved to?

1. Yes 2. Prepare the site and build a safe room 3. Yes, it was their primary residence; they built it and then decided they wanted to move it closer to their parents home 4. We did not make the first loan 5. Yes The interesting thing is, they coded this loan as a construction loan, so there is no GFE, but there is a settlement statement. I believe the first loan, the one we refinanced was a construction loan, and they doubled the loan amount when we refinanced--set it up as an interest only construction loan,and have the proceeds set up as draws. This is a complicated one, and I don't want to write it up if it's not considered a refinance~thanks for your interest

We see this all the time in South Georgia. We call these "mobile" home loans! ROR would apply! It may or may not be HMDA reportable based on the intended repayment source.

Thanks to all of you--I appreciate your input. My apologies, I should have told you to begin with the bank is a non-HMDA reportable affiliate--but I'm kind of glad I didn't mention it because your comments broadened the spectrum and gave me a greater understanding. I especially like the reminder: A home can only be constructed once! I've been studying for the CRCM test in November, and with all of the additional help from these threads, the Regs are falling into place. Thanks again!

Now, from a RESPA perspective, I'm wondering if GFE etc should have been provided? If the loan cannot be considered a construction loan, not a bridge loan, then my next step would be to consider if it is temporary financing? The fact that is matures in one year and interest only payments will be made, does this open up a can of worms regarding HPML also?

RESPA's definition of temporary financing does reference a construction loan for new or rehabilitated 1-to-4 family dwellings as possible exceptions. As long as there is not a commitment for financing from you FI, I think it would be exempt for RESPA being that it is less than 24 months and moving a dwelling could be considered rehabilitation construction.
Definitions of temporary financing can get tricky when skipping between regulation.

"Rehabilitation construction" would be home improvement. The construction loan referenced in RESPA implies the initial construction.
We don't know how this loan will be re-paid. Without that information we can't opine whether it's a short term loan which would be subject to RESPA or a temporary loan which would be exempt from RESPA.
If the loan is not to be repaid from longer term financing then I would have to opine it's a short term loan and would be subject to RESPA.
