A Loan Against Property (LAP) is a type of secured loan where a borrower pledges their property as collateral in exchange for a loan from a financial institution. The property can be residential or commercial, and the value of the loan is typically a percentage of the property's market value.

Key features of a Loan Against Property include:
1. Secured Nature: As mentioned, the loan is secured by the borrower's property. This provides a level of security for the lender, as they can sell the property to recover their funds if the borrower fails to repay the loan.
2. Loan Amount: The loan amount is usually determined based on the market value of the property being pledged as collateral. Lenders may offer a loan amount ranging from 40% to 70% of the property's value.
3. Interest Rates: Interest rates on LAP are generally lower than those on unsecured loans because of the collateral involved. The interest can be fixed or floating, depending on the terms of the loan agreement.
4. Loan Tenure: The repayment period for a Loan Against Property is typically longer compared to unsecured loans. It can range from 5 to 15 years, allowing borrowers more time to repay the loan.
5. End-Use: Borrowers can use the funds from a Loan Against Property for various purposes, such as business expansion, education, medical expenses, debt consolidation, or any other legitimate financial need.
6. Eligibility Criteria: Lenders evaluate the borrower's eligibility based on factors such as income, age, credit history, and the value of the property being offered as collateral.
7. Processing Fees: Lenders may charge processing fees for the approval and disbursement of the loan. These fees vary among financial institutions.
NOTE: It's crucial for borrowers to carefully read and understand the terms and conditions of the loan agreement before proceeding with a Loan Against Property. Defaulting on the loan can lead to the lender taking possession of the pledged property. Therefore, borrowers should ensure they can comfortably meet the repayment obligations before opting for a loan of this nature.
