Esset Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My GFs father recently transferred some land (Chanote) with a house to her. Can she borrow money from a bank using the land/house as collateral? I remember reading somewere that you have to wait a certain time before you can sell/mortgage property, but I may remember wrong. How much of the estimated value of the property would the bank be willing to lend? I´m thankful for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark5335 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Whether a bank would lend against the particular landed property would depend upon the location, purpose of the loan, your TGF's ability to repay the loan (her salary/business etc), and her credit record with the National Credit Bureau. If the property meets the banks collateral criteria, they might lend 60 - 70% of bank valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if you need to own the property for a certain time before the bank is willing to take it as collateral for a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nara80 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Form my experience, there are few categories is divided for ownership transfer such as purchase, give, mortgage and heritage. In your case, I'm not sure how's your GFs father transfering to her (Give of heritage) However, you could check on behind of Title Deed (Chanote). If he gave to her, she could getting loan for the bank but he still have right to take it back if he want. If he make it as heritage, he probably put granting permission period to purchase or mortgage, if not she could make whatever she want. According to Department of Land website>> Click see . Chapter 1. Application and investigation. Article 7 Edited October 21, 2010 by nara80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If land was purchased, could there be any time limits on reselling or mortgaging it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDNinKS Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Shop around to all the banks. My wife has just done this and all the banks had differant criteria. Some would lend 70% of the value and some 90%. There is a lot of competition going on right now and the banks are running all kinds of "promotions". They will ask you to pay for the assessment of the property, but I have been told by a Thai friend that can be negotiated as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
