Lease Rental Discounting is a term loan raised against the future rental income of a leased commercial property. The lender discounts the contracted rentals — typically routed through an escrow — and advances a loan serviced by those rentals, with the property mortgaged as security. Because repayment rides a contracted rental stream from a creditworthy tenant, LRD can support long tenors and competitive rates.

Finnova Advisory is an advisory firm — we structure the file and negotiate terms; the lender sanctions and disburses.

What Lease Rental Discounting is

A rental stream, discounted into upfront capital

Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) is a term loan raised against the future rental income of a leased commercial property. The lender discounts the rentals payable under a lease — typically routed through an escrow — and advances a loan serviced by those rentals, with the property itself mortgaged as security. Because repayment rides a contracted rental stream from a creditworthy tenant, LRD can support long tenors and competitive rates. Getting it right means matching the loan to the lease tenor, lessee quality and escrow mechanics.

What LRD can fund

Monetise a leased asset without selling it

From unlocking upfront capital to refinancing costlier debt, LRD turns a contracted rental stream into funds the business can deploy today — while you keep the asset and its appreciation.

01

Unlocking capital

Convert a leased asset’s future rentals into upfront funds for the business — without selling the property.

02

Capex and expansion

Fund new development or acquisition off an income-producing asset already on your books.

03

Debt consolidation / refinance

Replace costlier debt with a rental-serviced facility aligned to the contracted income stream.

04

Developer liquidity

Monetise leased commercial space for liquidity, while retaining ownership and future upside.

The mechanism

How Lease Rental Discounting works

LRD doesn’t look at your turnover — it looks at your rent. We fast-forward the future rental income from a leased property into a lump sum today, repaid automatically from the rent itself.

01

A tenant pays you rent

You own a commercial property leased to a creditworthy tenant on a registered, multi-year lease.

02

We discount the rental stream

The lender values the future rentals over the lease at their present value — the stronger and longer the lease, the larger the loan.

03

You draw the lump sum

You receive upfront capital — typically 60–75% of property value — without selling the asset.

Self-liquidating: the rent is escrowed and services the loan, so EMIs don’t touch your other cash flows.

How much can you raise?

Which one fits

LRD vs Loan Against Property

Both raise capital against property — but they’re underwritten differently. If your property is leased and rent-yielding, LRD is usually cheaper and larger.

What it takes

Eligibility & what we’ll need

LRD turns on the lease, not just the building. Here’s what makes a property fundable — and what we assemble before the file goes in.

Eligibility

  • Rent-yielding commercial property — office, retail or warehouse
  • Registered lease with a minimum unexpired tenure (typically 3+ years)
  • Creditworthy tenant — corporate / institutional preferred
  • Clear, marketable title, free of disputes
  • Willingness to route rentals through an escrow account

Documents to ready

  • Registered lease / leave-and-licence agreement
  • Rent receipts & bank statements showing rent credits
  • Property title deeds, chain of documents & approved plan
  • Tenant details and financials, where available
  • Owner KYC & financials
Where we add value: we structure the rentals, escrow and lease covenants so the lender underwrites the maximum drawable amount at the keenest rate — then place it with the right bank or NBFC. Finnova is an advisory firm; the lender sanctions and disburses.

Process

How an engagement runs — our 5-step path

A clear path from case diligence to disbursement, with the escrow set-up as the structural keystone between sanction and drawdown.

  1. Case diligence

    2–3 days

    We review the lease, lessee credit and indicative eligibility — and tell you where the file stands today.

  2. Lender shortlist

    2 days

    We match rate, tenor and escrow appetite across right-fit banks and NBFCs, and shortlist the right lender.

  3. Pack prep & valuation

    7–10 days

    We compile the file and coordinate valuation, legal/title and lease verification — the checks most often on the critical path.

  4. Sanction negotiation

    3–6 weeks

    Credit-committee interaction, rate/tenor negotiation and the sanction letter — handled by the desk on the file.

  5. Documentation & disbursement

    2–3 weeks

    Mortgage and escrow set-up, condition-precedent compliance and drawdown — the escrow is the keystone that aligns repayment to rent.

FAQ

Lease rental discounting, answered

LRD is a term loan raised against the future rental income of a leased property. The lender advances funds serviced by those rentals — typically routed through an escrow — with the property mortgaged as security.

Commercial property under a registered lease with a stable rental stream — office, retail or warehousing — is the typical fit. Lease tenor, lessee quality and escrow arrangement drive the terms.

Lenders size the facility off the contracted rentals (discounted over the lease tenor), the lessee’s credit quality and the property valuation. A strong, long-tenor lease with a creditworthy tenant supports a larger, longer facility.

Yes — significantly. Because repayment rides the rental stream, a creditworthy, stable tenant strengthens the case and improves rate and tenor. We help position the lease and lessee profile to support a stronger sanction.

Rentals are typically routed through an escrow that services the loan, so repayment is aligned to the contracted rental inflow over the lease tenor.

For clean, well-documented cases, sanction and disbursement typically run a few weeks, with valuation, lease verification and legal/title checks on the critical path. We give an indicative timeline after case diligence.
