Should I take a Loan against Fixed Deposit to buy a Flat ?

POSTED BY narbhavi76 ON December 27, 2013 12:41 am COMMENTS (5)

Dear Gurus,

I have around 40 lakhs Fixed deposit and getting monthly interest. I would like to buy a flat which is cost 35 lakhs including stamp duty. Instead of paying lumpsum of 34 lakhs, is it good idea to borrow a loan against my FD, and pay the interest from my interest.

I am retired scenario citizen, you advise will be more valuable to me.

The banker is ready to give Loan against my FD.

Kind regards

      Hi Basavareddy,

      The interest I get is on monthly basis, but my loan will be spread for next 15 years along with principal and Interest. So the repaying amount will be more or less equal to my interest against FD. This is were I would like to get advise.
      Regards

    Dear Narbhavi, if you are a retired person, why do you want to purchase this flat in the first place?

    Thanks
