Everything you need to know about home loan & loan against property

Home loans are one of the simplest forms of loans. In these loans, you get a secured loan to purchase a property which is also kept as its collateral. With Piramal Finance, these loans are one of the most sought loans throughout the market. Although, they require heavy due diligence from customers as well as the lender’s side. Home loans are repaid through the mechanism of EMI and after the repayment of the loan, the title of the property is transferred back to the borrower. In-home loans, the lender has the right to recover the amount from that property. 

A loan against property is a type of loan that is secured by pledging an owned asset as collateral. This asset can be anything like owned land, a home, or any other residential or commercial property. One of the important things about this type of loan is that you can only secure a loan against a property when you own the title to the pledged asset. The asset remains as collateral with the lender till the amount is paid back to the lender. The interest rates in this type of loan are quite low compared to unsecured loans. The reason for that is the lender has the option to encash the collateral property in case the loan is not paid back.
