What is a Loan Against Property?

A loan against property or LAP is a type of secured loan where a bank or financial institution grants you a loan with your property as collateral. This means that the lender will hold ownership of the property you choose to pledge, but only until you repay the entire loan amount.

This kind of loan is especially useful when you are in a time-bound crunch because the amount of the loan can usually be high and the approval time on a loan against property is usually low.

Benefits of Loan Against Property:

  • Quicker approval: Financial institutions usually approve this type of loan quickly as is it a secured loan.

  • Lower interest rates: The interest rate offered by the financial institution for a loan against property may be lower than that of a personal loan.

  • Longer loan tenure: For a loan against property, you may be able to secure a longer repayment tenure so the EMIs (Equated Monthly Instalments) are better manageable.

  • Free use: The amount you get from a LAP can be used for pretty much any purpose. Other kinds of loans may not allow you the same kind of freedom.

  • Hassle-free process: The process of applying for a loan against property as well as the internal processing is quick and hassle-free.

Speaking of the simple process, let's take a look at the loan against property process step-by-step.
