How to Prepay Loan Against Property?

A loan against property is a secured financing option wherein a collateral is mortgaged to avail of funds. Loans Against Property have no end-usage restrictions and offer high-value loan amounts against low-interest rates, making them an ideal financial solution to access quick and easy funds.

Another major advantage of a loan against property is that the loan amount can be prepaid anytime during the tenor without incurring hefty additional charges. With Bajaj Housing Finance, prepayment of loan against property entails following a few steps.

Part-prepayment or foreclosure encompasses repaying the credits in parts before they are due, during the tenor. Our loan against property is available against flexible repayment options, which allows partial prepayments. This feature can help individuals reduce their debt when they have access to additional funds and manage their finances efficiently.

Prepayment of loan against property is an easy process and involves paying off the entire due before the tenor ends. Part-prepayment entails increasing the EMI by a certain percentage every year or paying off an extra EMI.
