What is a Property Loan?
A Property Loan, also known as Loan Against Property (LAP), is a secured loan where a borrower mortgages a residential, commercial, or industrial property to raise funds. These funds can be used for business expansion, working capital needs, debt consolidation, or other business purposes. Since the loan is secured by property, it offers lower interest.
