Loan Against Property - An overview
A Loan Against Property or LAP helps you to purchase or maintain a home, land, or other types of real estate. Being secured in nature, LAP demands collateral against the loaned amount. LAP offerings against your commercial or residential property put you in a position to use the value locked up in your property to meet any expenses of any nature.
You may select a high-value loan depending on the value of your property collateral for your borrowing.
Loan Against Property Features and Benefits
Low-Interest Rates
LAPs typically offer lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans, making them a cost-effective borrowing option.
Low EMIs
Due to longer repayment tenures and lower interest rates, LAPs generally come with affordable monthly installments (EMIs).
Faster Approvals
Lenders often provide quicker approvals for LAPs since the loan is secured against property, reducing the risk for the lender.
Minimal or Low Prepayment Charges
LAPs usually have minimal or no prepayment penalties, allowing borrowers to repay the loan early without significant additional costs.
Funds for Multiple Uses
The funds obtained through LAP can be used for various purposes such as business expansion, education, medical expenses, or debt consolidation.
Residential and Commercial Properties Eligible as Collateral
Both residential and commercial properties can be mortgaged to secure a LAP, offering more options for borrowers.
Retain Ownership of Mortgaged Property
Even though the property is mortgaged, ownership remains with the borrower, allowing them to continue using the property as usual.
