MORTGAGE LOAN INTEREST RATES

When considering a loan against property, evaluating the interest rate is crucial. A lower interest rate reduces the overall repayment burden, while a higher rate can increase financial strain. To minimize this, it’s essential to mortgage your property with a lender offering competitive rates.

Loans against property generally offer lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans. These rates are influenced by various factors, with the primary determinant being the applicant’s nature of employment.
