These days if you have Home Loan on your house you can get top up on that loan for your personal use. The top up Loan on your home Loan is much cheaper as compared to the Personal loan. It’s come with a interest rate of 13–14% p.a. as compared to the Personal loan whose Rate of Interest is ranging from 15–20% as well as higher Processing Fees.
So if you need personal loan for your personal use like sisters or daughters marriages etc. you can go for home Loan Top up on the existing Loan or loan against property as the same is much cheaper than the personal loan & very easy to process.
If you already have home loan you just need to approach your existing financer for top up on the same. The financer will provide you the loan faster as the property is already mortgaged to them if the financier have margin for the same. Since the end use of the loan is different & not for home purchase or construction, obviously the rate of interest for the top up loan will be higher. However the interest rate on your home loan portion will be same as of earlier & will not be effected by your top up loan interest rate. Financer will just treat those as two separate loan account though the property is same.
Same way if a person does not have any loan on his home can approach financers for his/her business loan/ personal loan needs by offering house as mortgage for cheaper rate of interest.
