Apply for longer loan tenure: Your Loan against property EMI depends upon the tenure of the loan. Higher the loan tenure, higher will be your loan amount eligibility. If your loan eligibility for a 10 year loan is Rs 15 lakh, you may evaluate the option of taking 15 years loan to increase your loan amount eligibility. You can also check your loan eligibility with MyLoanCare Property Loan Calculator.

Prepay your existing loan completely: If you have an existing loan near to closure, it might help to pay back the loan to increase your monthly savings and enhance your loan eligibility.

Add any co-applicant (Spouse or parents): If you include your spouse or parents as loan co- applicant, then your overall loan eligibility will go up as more income is available to support loan repayment. Please ensure that the applicant is earning, has a strong credit track record and can produce credit and income proofs, as required.

Add Rental Income: Some banks are also open to consider your rental income as a part of your net income to calculate your loan eligibility. Hence, it is advisable to disclose and report your rental income if you want the highest loan amount.

Maintain good credit score: Before applying for loan against property, check out your CIBIL score. Look for errors, if any. Do not apply for a loan with various lenders to get a loan quickly. Pay all your credit card bills and loan EMI on time or you can also do advance payment to improve your CIBIL score and your eligibility for a loan.

Choose the property to be mortgaged wisely: Banks view residential property as the safest and hence, offer the highest LTV on such properties. If you have an option, always try to avail a loan against a residential property to get highest loan and lowest interest rate. Commercial property mortgage tend to get you lower loan amount eligibility and higher interest rate, as perceived risk is high. Only a few banks offer loan against industrial property and that too at lower LTV and higher interest rate.

✅Is CIBIL score required for loan against property?

Loan against property is a secured loan, as you submit your property as collateral. In case of a secured loan, credit score has a lower role to play as compared to its role in an unsecured loan. However, the credit score is still an important parameter that is required to get your loan application accepted.

✅How do banks value the property when deciding eligibility for loan against it?

Bank decides the loan against property eligibility by following these steps:

• An independent valuer appointed by the bank would visit the property, take its measurements and check whether the construction is as per the approved map plan or not.
• The valuers would base the value on current prevalent property prices in the locality, area of the property in square meters or square feet, age of the property and its condition.
• Note that the value is not related to the circle rate or ready reckoner rates as these may not always be in line with the market rates.
• For higher ticket size loans (₹ 1 Cr and above), banks may get valuation reports from two independent valuers and take an average of the two to arrive at value for the purpose of calculating maximum loan eligibility based on LTV.

✅How does eligibility calculator calculate eligibility in case of businessmen?

The loan against property eligibility calculator calculates the eligibility for businessmen in following ways:

• Income of business concerns such as companies, partnerships and proprietorships is taken as eligible income. We can also add non cash expenses such as depreciation to arrive at eligible income and increase loan amount eligibility.
• To be eligible, the business must be registered and at least three years of income tax returns must be available.
• It is possible to add income from other sources like rent and interest to help increase eligibility.
