Your quick guide to understanding LAP and Home Loans better


As the name implies, a loan against property (LAP) is exactly that! A loan given or disbursed against the mortgage of your property. This loan is given at a certain percentage of the property's market value, usually around 40% to 60%, which is what immediately differentiates it from a Home Loan.

Suppose a businessman, wishes to avail a loan against his Mumbai-home to repay a debt, fund new expenses, raise capital or cater to any emergency financial demands, he can avail a Loan against Property.

This type of a loan belongs to the Secured Loan category, where a borrower gives a guarantee by using his property as security. 

There are 2 primary reasons why individuals opt for a Loan Against Property (LAP):
 

1. Low interest, lower EMIs!
