Things to Keep in Mind when Applying for a Loan Against Property:

Here are a few quick pointers to keep in mind when applying for a loan against property:

Property should be free of contention

Before applying for a loan, ensure that the collateral you provide is free of any disputes. Uncertain property papers and ownership disputes among property owners can lead to loan application rejection.

The loan amount must be manageable

The bank makes the loan based on the collateral provided. They do, however, expect all borrowers to pay their EMIs on time. Payment default can lead to problems with the bank in the future.

Choose the appropriate tenure

When deciding on a tenure, it is critical to consider your repayment capacity as well as the interest rate. You can use an EMI calculator to figure out how much you’ll owe the lender based on your interest rate and loan amount. This tool can assist you in selecting the appropriate tenure.

Check the value of your home

Make this a priority before applying for a loan. Only if the property was purchased more than three years ago will a bank consider the realizable value rather than the market value. In the case of a purchase within the next three years, the lower of the registered value or the realizable value is taken into account. Furthermore, you are eligible for a loan of 60% of the value accepted by the bank.
