FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can expatriates get a mortgage in Dubai?

Yes. Eligible expatriates can apply for mortgage financing in the UAE, subject to lender requirements and Central Bank limits. Residency, income, liabilities and the property itself can affect the outcome.

Can I apply for a mortgage if I live outside the UAE?

Some lenders offer mortgages to eligible non-residents. Required documents, financing limits and application criteria vary by lender.

How much deposit do I need to buy a property in Dubai?

The deposit depends on the buyer’s circumstances, property and lender. Under the UAE Central Bank framework, the maximum loan-to-value ratio for an eligible expatriate first-home owner-occupier buying a qualifying property under AED 5 million is 80%, which generally means at least a 20% down payment. Other cases can require more, and purchase costs are additional.

What is mortgage pre-approval?

Pre-approval is a lender’s preliminary assessment of a buyer’s potential mortgage eligibility and borrowing amount. It is not a guarantee of final mortgage approval.

How long can a mortgage run in the UAE?

The UAE Central Bank’s published mortgage framework sets a maximum loan term of 25 years. A lender may offer a shorter term depending on age, affordability and its lending policies.

Can self-employed buyers obtain a mortgage?

Yes, subject to the lender’s assessment. Business owners may need to provide company and income documentation in addition to the usual identification and financial records.

Can I refinance my current mortgage?

Potentially. Eligibility, savings and total costs depend on your existing loan and the new lender’s terms. A mortgage professional can help you assess whether refinancing is suitable.
