These could be your child’s education, marriage expenses, starting a new business or tackling any sudden emergency. In such circumstances, a loan against property can prove to be useful in providing you with the necessary funds. A loan against property is a secured loan wherein you can borrow money from banks or financial institutions by providing your property as collateral. You can mortgage a commercial or residential building, land or a house, a self-occupied or a vacant property.

Your eligibility for the loan and the eligible amount depends upon several factors like your creditworthiness i.e., your credit score, the value of your property, your income and ability to repay your loans, etc. Your eligibility criteria are also based on whether you are a salaried individual or a self-employed applicant.
