Loan against unsold inventory for builders: eligibility and documents
A detailed guide to raising liquidity against completed unsold property inventory without distress-selling eligible units.
7 min read
What you need to know
A loan against unsold inventory allows an eligible builder or developer to raise business liquidity against completed units that remain available for sale. The facility can support project cash flow, new opportunities, sales activity, working capital or refinance while the developer continues marketing the inventory.
Lenders usually begin with a valid Occupancy Certificate, clear title and approval records, an itemised inventory statement and an independent valuation. They then assess the developer's CIBIL and commercial credit profile, existing debt, repayment history, entity financials, banking conduct and the expected pace of unit sales.
The lender does not normally use the full market value as the funding base. Eligible value is determined after valuation, saleability, location, unit mix, existing charges and a risk margin. The sanction amount, interest rate, tenure and disbursal therefore remain case-specific even when the published facility limit is higher.
Applicants should prepare the OC, title chain and approvals, unit-wise inventory with carpet area and asking price, recent sales evidence, audited financials and ITRs, current-account statements, existing sanction letters and repayment statements. Legal, technical, valuation and credit checks must be completed before disbursal.
