If you have a high loan quantum requirement to fund big-ticket expenses like children’s wedding or higher education, home renovation or a medical emergency, etc., getting a loan against your property could be a viable option for you. And apart from high loan quantum, these securitized loans also offer longer repayment tenures and are usually available at lower interest rates than unsecured financing facilities like a personal loan.
But before applying for a loan against property, do note that many banks offer such loans only up to 65% of the pledged property’s market value. And while these loans are available against both residential and commercial properties, the associated terms and conditions could be different, according to BankBazaar.
Also, if your property is too old or dilapidated, or it has disputed ownership, you might not be eligible for a loan against property. Lastly, while a loan against property is a securitized loan, your lender would consider your credit score while processing your application and would offer you the best repayment terms only if your score is above 750-800.
You also need to keep in mind a couple of other important things regarding LAP. Most banks also charge a processing fee that’s usually up to 1% of the loan amount plus taxes. Also, while many banks do not charge for part-prepayments in loans against property for individual borrowers who have taken the loan for non-business purposes, it’s better to read the terms and conditions of your shortlisted loan product to get complete clarity before finalizing your decision, as per BankBazaar.
