Loan against property will be in the names of joint holders
Financial Express Kolkata
|August 30, 2025
My sister wants to start a business and needs some money. Can she take a loan against a property (LAP) jointly held by me and does she need to show the end use of the loan?
-
Yes, a LAP is possible in a jointly held property. However, please note that the loan availability will also be in the joint name. In the case of a LAP, the end use of funds is not verified by the bank.
I checked my credit score six months ago and it is around 800. Now I want to take a home renovation loan. How can I negotiate with the bank for a lower interest rate?
Yes, a borrower with a high score is usually well placed to negotiate for a better rate in future loans.
