Mortgage Loan (Loan Against Property): Eligibility, Interest Rates & Process

A Mortgage Loan, also known as a Loan Against Property (LAP), is one of the most cost-effective ways to raise large funds. If you own a residential or commercial property, you can leverage it to meet personal or business needs at lower interest rates and longer tenures.

In this guide, WeRise DSA explains everything you need to know about mortgage loans—eligibility, interest rates, documents, benefits, and the step-by-step process.

What Is a Mortgage Loan (LAP)?

A mortgage loan is a secured loan where you pledge your property (residential/commercial) as collateral to get funds from a bank or NBFC.

You can use the loan amount for:

Business expansion or working capital
Debt consolidation
Education or medical expenses
Wedding or personal needs
Investment or asset purchase

Business expansion or working capital

Types of Properties Accepted

Most lenders accept:

Self-occupied residential property
Rented residential property
Commercial property (shops, offices)
Industrial property (select lenders)

Property must have clear title and valid legal approvals.

Mortgage Loan Amount & Tenure

Loan Amount: Up to 60–70% of property’s market value
Loan Size: ₹10 Lakhs to ₹5 Crores (profile-based)
Tenure: Up to 15–20 years

Longer tenure = lower EMI and better cash-flow management.
