Here’s What You Don’t Know About Mortgage Plans for Expats in Dubai.

Hey there, expats! Are you dreaming of owning a home in Dubai? You're not alone.

I'm here to spill the beans on everything you might need to learn about getting a mortgage in Dubai.

 

The Lowdown on Mortgages for Expats

So, you want to buy a home in Dubai, but where do you start? Mortgages can seem like a maze but here are some key points to keep in mind.

 

1. Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios:

  • Did you know that as an expat, you can get a mortgage for up to 75% of the property's value if it's under AED 5 million? For properties over that, it’s 65%. This means you'll need a down payment of 25-35%.

 

2. Interest Rates:

  • Enjoy the stability of fixed rates or the thrill of variable rates that change with the market! Currently, interest rates range from as low as 1.49% to 3.94%. So, which is better for you? It depends on how much risk you're willing to take.

 

3. Mortgage Tenure:

  • Mortgages here can last from 5 to 25 years. Longer tenure means lower monthly payments but more interest paid over time. It’s a balancing act!

 

4. Eligibility Criteria:

  • When applying for a mortgage, banks will carefully evaluate your income, employment history, and credit score to assess your eligibility. For expatriates, some banks may have additional requirements, such as a minimum salary threshold, to ensure financial stability. It's important to understand these criteria to enhance your chances of securing a favorable mortgage.
