Loan Against Property (LAP), also known as mortgage loan, is given against the mortgage of a property, which remains with the bank/lending institutions till the loan is repaid. This property can be residential, commercial or industrial. You can get a higher loan amount at a lower interest rate starting from 7% p.a. on the Loan Against Property. Banks/lending institutions usually sanction mortgage loans between 50% and 70% of the market value of the property, which you can easily pay in EMIs for up to 20 years. Like unsecured personal loans, this Loan Against Property can also be availed to meet personal as well as business needs, excluding risky activities.

Benefits of Loan Against Property

These vary from bank to bank/loan institutions and loan schemes. However, some of the common benefits of mortgage loan are given below:

  • Flexible End Use : Like a personal loan, a loan against property can be          used to meet personal and business needs, barring risky activities.

  • Higher loan amount : This is a secured loan as it is given against the             property and hence you get a higher loan amount easily.

  • Lower interest rate : The interest rate applicable on secured loans is          lower as compared to unsecured loans. This makes a loan against                 property cheaper and a better option than a personal loan.

  • Flexible Tenure : The tenure of the Loan Against Property is usually up     to 20 years, giving you the flexibility of low EMIs and easy repayments.

  • Balance Transfer Facility : Mortgage loans also have a balance transfer        facility, which allows you to transfer your existing mortgage loan to             another bank / lending institution at a lower interest rate or better loan         terms.
