What is a Loan Against Property?

A Loan Against Property (LAP) provides funding by using your property as collateral. It can be used for various purposes such as business expansion, debt consolidation, education, medical expenses, or personal needs. The loan can be secured against residential, commercial, or industrial properties, with terms based on the property’s value and the borrower’s financial health. It’s a versatile financing option tailored for both personal and commercial needs, evaluated on factors like property valuation, income, credit history, and repayment capacity.

Loan Against Property Interest Rate

The interest rate for a Loan Against Property depends on factors such as the borrower’s credit profile, loan amount, repayment tenure, property value, and lender’s policies. Lower interest rates reduce borrowing costs, so it’s essential to compare offers from banks and NBFCs to secure the best deal.

How to Calculate EMI for a Loan Against Property

To calculate your Loan Against Property EMI, use the formula:

EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)N−1], [(1+R)N −1]
Where:
  • P = Principal loan amount
  • R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
  • N = Loan tenure in months

Manual EMI calculations can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Instead, use an online EMI calculator for quick and accurate results. Just enter the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure. Tools like the BigMudra EMI calculator instantly show your EMI, total interest, and repayment schedule. This helps you compare loan offers and choose the best one for your business.
