class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mortgage is a pledge of a borrower&#8217;s property as collateral for a loan. The borrower remains in possession of the property, while the lender has the option to seize it if the borrower defaults. This process is widely used in consolidating debts or in-home buying situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Mortgage_Loan\"><\/span><b>Types of Mortgage Loan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In India, different types of mortgage loan tend to serve different financial needs. Here are some of the most common six types:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Home Loan (Housing Loan):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When one is either buying, building, or renovating a home, and is offered at fixed or floating rates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Loan Against Property (LAP): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A secured loan against a residential or commercial property, typically for personal or business use.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Commercial Property:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To purchase or construct a commercial property primarily directed towards businesspeople seeking office or rental space.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reverse Mortgage Loan:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Offered to elderly citizens (60+ years), allowing conversion of home equity into monthly payments that are repaid when the property is disposed of or once the borrower passes away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lease Rental Discounting (LRD): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against future rental income from commercial property, secured against the lease agreement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Second Mortgage Loan: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loan put against a property, even when a mortgage is already on the same property, to secure further funds, though at a higher risk to the lender.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Mortgage_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span><b>Which Mortgage Should You Choose?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registered mortgages are unarguably safer for lenders, which is why banks prefer them over others.

Unsure how to move forward, the client sought legal advice.<\/p>\n<p>Our legal team explained that even without a sale date, ownership can still be proven. With the help of a property lawyer, the client submitted alternative documents like the completion certificate, an allocation letter from the uncle, and the sale deed of the land. The lawyer also assisted in dealing with the municipal authorities to obtain necessary permissions.
