A loan against property is a secured loan wherein you offer your property as collateral to the bank or a lender in exchange for a loan.

Bank considers any owned piece of land — residential, commercial, or used for specialized industries — as collateral for a loan against property.

Getting a good deal with an attractive interest rate is extremely important when borrowing a loan against property. Your interest rate directly impacts the total repayment amount. There are various factors that influence mortgage interest rates:
Your credit score is a crucial factor in many ways. A good credit score improves your creditworthiness while a bad one puts you in a tricky position with lenders. So, before applying for a mortgage loan, check your credit score. If it is not up to the mark, then you can first focus on improving it. You can start with regular and timely bill payments and credit card repayments. Make sure you don’t default any ongoing EMIs. This will create a favorable credit history for your loan to get approved.
The property raised in collateral is an extremely important aspect of your loan deal and a determinant of your mortgage loan interest. The property location, age, and status are considered to evaluate the resale value of the property. Apart from these, the facilities available within and outside the premises are also looked into. With an overall high property value, you could avail of a lower interest rate.
The interest rate also depends on your loan tenure. However, remember that a shorter loan tenure will increase the EMI amount. Paying a higher EMI amount may not always be feasible. So, choose a repayment tenure that works for you and accordingly, a rate of interest will be set.
Financial record of the applicant builds a financial profile that impacts your creditworthiness in many ways. Your income and debt-to-income ratio, along with other financial habits are also taken into account. Lesser the burden of debt, the better your rate of interest.
