Loan Against Property Eligibility Criteria

The mortgage loan or Loan Against Property eligibility is determined by a combination of factors, including the borrower’s age, income, employment type, credit profile, and the market value of the pledged property.

At SMFG India Credit, individuals, whether salaried, self-employed, or running a small or medium enterprise, can apply for an LAP tailored to their specific needs. A key part of mortgage loan eligibility is the type of property being pledged. For instance, if you pledge a residential property, you may be eligible for a loan of up to 60%* of its market value. In contrast, commercial properties can fetch up to 70%* of their market value. So, if your residential property is valued at INR 50 lakhs, your property loan eligibility may extend to INR 30 lakhs, while a commercial property of the same value may qualify for up to INR 35 lakhs.

It’s important to note that the final loan approval depends not just on the property type and value but also on additional eligibility factors, which we will explore in detail below.
