A loan against property, popularly known as LAP, is a secured form of loan that can be availed of against a residential or commercial property as a mortgage. The loan amount can be used for any purpose, including meeting the child’s education expenses, funding business expansion, wedding expenses, etc. It is a secured form of personal loan.

The lender generally provides up to 75% of the market value of the property as a loan. In case of default or failure to repay, the lender keeps the right to auction the mortgaged property to recover the dues.
