Raising Finance in Dubai
Loan to Values
There are very few lenders in Dubai but you can achieve up to 70% of valuation or purchase price whichever is the lower for off plan properties and 70% of valuation if the property is a resale fully built more than 12 months before.
Dubai Mortgage Product Ranges
Loans are granted on a variable basis and repayment only. The loan will be linked to the prevailing Inter-bank rate at time of application and the loan can be taken in a variety of currencies. The margin above the Inter-bank rate will be 2.5%.
Mortgages only cover certain developments and developers so you should check eligibility of the development you are interested first. The security on these developments is sufficient for a bank to place a loan so this in turn means your security of ownership etc is 100%.
