Equity Against Property: How to Unlock the Value of What You Already Own

A lot of people think borrowing money means starting from zero—digging into savings, applying for personal loans, or putting up something new as collateral. But what many don’t realize is that they’re often sitting on something incredibly valuable already: their property.

Whether it’s a home, a commercial space, or even a piece of land, property holds equity—and that equity can be used to raise funds without selling the asset. This is where the concept of Equity Against Property comes in.

At Money Dila, we’ve helped hundreds of people tap into the value of their property to fund their goals—without giving up ownership. If you’ve heard the term but aren’t entirely sure how it works (or if it’s right for you), this article will break it down, in simple, honest terms.

First, What Does “Equity Against Property” Actually Mean?

Equity is the real value of your property after subtracting any outstanding loan. Let’s say your house is worth ₹1 crore and you still owe ₹30 lakhs on your home loan—your equity is ₹70 lakhs.

Now, instead of selling the property to access that ₹70 lakhs, you can borrow against it. Banks and financial institutions offer loans using your property’s equity as collateral. This is often called a Loan Against Property (LAP) or simply equity release.

Why Consider Borrowing Against Property?

There are a few solid reasons why this route makes sense for many people:

1. Lower Interest Rates

Loans against property typically come with lower interest rates than unsecured loans like personal loans or credit cards. Why? Because it’s a secured loan—the lender has your property as security.

2. High Loan Amounts

Because the loan is backed by a tangible asset, lenders are often willing to offer larger loan amounts—sometimes up to 60-70% of your property’s current market value.

3. Longer Repayment Tenure

You can usually opt for repayment periods of up to 15–20 years, which helps keep the EMIs manageable.

4. Continue Using the Property

You don’t have to move out or give up usage of your home, shop, or land. Ownership stays with you. You’re simply using its value to support your financial needs.

When Does It Make Sense?

Equity against property isn’t just for emergencies. It’s a smart financing option for:

Business expansion

Paying for higher education (especially abroad)

Medical expenses

Weddings

Debt consolidation

Buying another asset (second property, vehicle, etc.)

In short, if you need a substantial amount of money and already own property, this can be one of the most cost-effective and flexible ways to raise it.

What Kind of Property Can Be Used?

At Money Dila, we accept:

Residential property (self-occupied or rented)

Commercial property (shops, offices, warehouses)

Owned land (non-agricultural, with clear title)

The property must be legally owned by you, with clear documentation and no major disputes. Even if it’s jointly owned, loans can be arranged with consent from all title holders.

What You’ll Need

The loan application process is relatively simple, especially with Money Dila’s team guiding you through each step. Here’s what we generally require:

Identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)

Address proof

Property documents (sale deed, registration papers, tax receipts)

Income proof (salary slips, bank statements, ITR, etc.)

Current loan details (if there’s an active home loan)

We also help with property valuation to assess the current market worth, and determine the loan eligibility.

What About Risks?

Let’s be upfront. Yes—your property is used as security. That means if you default on payments, the lender has the legal right to recover the dues by selling the property. So, it’s important to:

Borrow only what you need

Understand the repayment terms clearly

Choose a trusted lender who offers transparency and flexibility

At Money Dila, we focus heavily on responsible lending. We’ll never push you into a loan you can’t comfortably repay. We also offer balance transfer options and top-ups in case your needs grow over time.

Final Thoughts

Property is one of the most valuable assets you can own—but its real power lies in how you use it. Instead of selling it or letting it sit idle, equity against property gives you the chance to put that value to work—on your terms.

Whether you’re building a business, funding an opportunity, or just need peace of mind during uncertain times, Money Dila is here to help you unlock that value—safely, smartly, and smoothly.
