Documents Required for Loan Against Property

Loan Against Property Documents

While making your application for a loan against property (LAP), there are certain documents that you will need to furnish. As is the case with any type of loan, the lender needs those documents to assess and verify your application.

These loan documents would indicate your identity, financial well-being, the purpose of the loan, the details and status of the property raised in collateral, and other details. Since LAP involves collateral, there will be more paperwork required than in unsecured loans.

You would have to provide all the essential documents necessary for a LAP. These include your registration, mortgage deed, etc. However, the more records you furnish, the stronger your application becomes!

In the case of joint borrowers, all the individual applicants have to present their documents and run their proposals with each other to make sure there are no discrepancies.

At Kotak Mahindra Bank, we provide our applicants with a checklist of documents. The mortgage loan checklist may differ for each individual. However, we have two generalized categories. Let us look at them.

Banks charge a documentation fee to process and act upon the documents that the applicant has sent. In Kotak Mahindra Bank, you will have to pay the documentation charges at the time of submission. For a LAP, these charges are INR 10000/- + GST + statutory dues.

If required, you can also change the documents you have provided in your LAP loan later upon payment of a nominal fee.

Before you make a loan application, you should have complete knowledge about it too. When it comes to a LAP, there are other charges apart from your interest rate. We have also provided these details on our website. You can click here to know more about Kotak Mahindra Bank’s loan against property fees and charges.

While submitting your application, make sure to double-check that you have all the documents needed. Missing out on any records would only lead to disapproval of the loan application and delays. If you do not have a particular copy required, you can always speak to your loan agent or bank representative to find out about other substitutes that you can submit instead.

In total, your application should reflect a good credit score, a property that’s worth the principal amount of the loan, an income source that’s well-equipped to pay the principal, along with the interest and purpose behind the loan.

FAQ's

Can I get a loan against property (LAP) without income proof?

You can easily get a LAP if you show finances that are well-equipped to repay the loan. So, if you do not have income proof, you would need to explain how you plan to repay the loan.

You can present bank statements if you have surplus funds or instruments like insurance papers, investments, etc., which provide some assurance to the bank. Moreover, the lender may ask you to discuss the lack of income sources and whether you plan on remedying that.

Chances of securing a low interest rate become dim without proper income proof. An income proof assures the lender that you are in a position to repay. However, it is possible to get a loan without but at a higher interest rate.

What is the importance of a credit score while availing of a mortgage loan?

For any loan, the lender needs to be confident that they aren’t issuing bad loans. A bad loan is essentially one that doesn’t get repaid as per the schedule and results in losses for the lending institution.

Therefore, the lender uses applicants’ credit scores to assess how likely they will repay the loan. This score is derived using their historical credit payments. It is not that those with poor credit ratings do not get loans. They do, but at an expensive rate of interest.

At Kotak, the interest rate for a loan against property can be as low as 9.25% per annum.

What are the documents required for a loan against property for SMEs?

Like individuals, businesses also need to offer professional stability and financial disposition deemed fit as per their principal amount. SMEs should furnish business records for the past 3 years and profits for the last 2 years from the date of application.

You may also be required to produce your ITR, GST registration, etc. if needed to verify the company’s functionality.

What is the time duration for receiving a loan against property after submission of the documents?

It usually takes 21 business days for any bank to process and sanction a LAP. When loans get approved in minutes nowadays, due diligence is always necessary when a property is involved.

The land records are tallied with the sub-district registrar and further checked with the development authorities to confirm the applicant’s ownership. However, we are always willing to speed up the process for applicants with valid emergencies.
