Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I borrow for a home loan in Dubai?
Under current Central Bank of the UAE rules, expats can typically borrow up to 80% of the property value (loan-to-value) on a first home priced AED 5M or below, and UAE nationals up to 85%. A second or subsequent property is usually capped lower, around 60–65%, and off-plan purchases are typically limited to about 50%. Your advisor confirms what applies to your case.
Can expats and non-residents get a mortgage in Dubai?
Yes. Engel & Völkers offers non-resident mortgage services as well as advice for UAE residents and expats, working with banks across the market to find a suitable product.
Does Engel & Völkers work with more than one bank?
Yes. As an independent broker it partners with a network of banks and lending partners in the UAE, so advisors compare rates and loan structures rather than being tied to a single lender.
Are Islamic (Sharia-compliant) mortgages available?
Yes. Engel & Völkers can arrange Islamic mortgage options alongside conventional fixed-rate and variable-rate products, depending on your preference and eligibility.
What fees should I budget for a Dubai mortgage?
Typical costs include mortgage registration at the Dubai Land Department (0.25% of the loan amount plus a small admin fee), a property valuation fee (commonly around AED 2,500–3,500) and a bank arrangement fee (often around 1% of the loan). Lenders also generally require life and property insurance. Always confirm current figures with your advisor and bank.
What is the maximum monthly repayment I can have?
UAE lenders apply a Debt Burden Ratio (DBR): total monthly debt repayments are generally capped at 50% of your monthly income, which affects how large a mortgage you can be approved for.
How long is a mortgage pre-approval valid?
Mortgage pre-approvals in the UAE are typically valid for around 60 days, letting you shop for a property knowing your approved budget before committing.
Does Engel & Völkers charge for mortgage advice?
Engel & Völkers offers a free mortgage consultation to assess your eligibility and budget. Confirm any costs directly with the advisor before proceeding.
