If you are an overseas investor looking to finance a property in Dubai or the wider UAE, here are the exact numbers you need to know before we begin:
Processing Time: 2 to 3 weeks for remote pre-approval.
At YOUAE Mortgages, we provide a complete mortgage solution tailored specifically for non residents who want to invest or buy property in the UAE. Our services include:
At YOUAE Mortgages, we offer a range of mortgage solutions specifically structured for non residents purchasing property in the UAE. Each option is matched to your income source, nationality, investment objective and long term plans.
This option is suitable for non residents buying apartments, villas or townhouses in the UAE. Whether you are purchasing a holiday home or a long term residential property, we help you secure financing with competitive interest rates, appropriate loan to value ratios and flexible repayment terms.
Designed for overseas investors purchasing property for rental income or capital appreciation. These mortgages focus on property yield, location and long term return potential. Our advisors help structure the mortgage to support your investment strategy while meeting bank criteria.
Buy to let mortgages are ideal for non residents planning to rent out their UAE property. Lenders assess expected rental income along with your overseas earnings. We work with banks that are comfortable with non resident rental property financing.
Fixed rate mortgages offer stable monthly repayments for a fixed period, providing protection against interest rate changes. This option suits non residents who prefer predictable cash flow and financial certainty, especially when managing finances across different currencies.
Variable rate mortgages fluctuate based on market conditions. These mortgages may offer lower initial interest rates and are suitable for borrowers who are comfortable with potential changes in monthly payments over time.
Sharia compliant home finance solutions are available for non residents seeking interest free property financing. These structures are based on approved Islamic banking principles and are offered through selected UAE Islamic banks.
For non residents earning a fixed salary outside the UAE, we help identify lenders that accept foreign income and international employers. Currency type, employment stability and income consistency are carefully assessed to secure approval.
Self employed non residents often face additional scrutiny from banks. We assist business owners and entrepreneurs by structuring applications using company financials, audited accounts and income evidence acceptable to UAE lenders.
If you earn income in multiple currencies, we help you secure mortgage solutions that accommodate currency conversion and bank requirements. This ensures smoother approval and manageable repayment planning.
You may qualify for a UAE mortgage even if you:
We guide you through eligibility criteria based on your profile, including salary certificates, credit reports, and borrowing capacity, ensuring you understand loan amounts and maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratios applicable to you.
If you have been reading generic property blogs, you might have seen headlines claiming: “Buy property in Dubai with just 20% down!”
As your mortgage broker, I need to clear this up immediately so you can budget accurately. That 20% rule only applies to UAE Residents who hold a valid Emirates ID.
If you live in the UK, the US, India, or anywhere else outside the UAE—or even if you just moved to Dubai but do not have your Emirates ID yet—the UAE Central Bank classifies you as a Non-Resident. Because banks view overseas lending as slightly higher risk, they cap non-resident mortgages at 50% to 65% LTV.
What this means for you: You will need a 35% to 50% down payment in cash, plus an additional 7% to 8% to cover closing costs (DLD fees, agency fees, and bank processing).
Choosing YOUAE Mortgages means having a trusted partner who understands the specific needs and challenges of non resident buyers. Here’s why clients prefer us:
Documentation is simple and generally includes:
One of the biggest worries our overseas clients have is, “How will a Dubai bank know my credit history if I live in London or New York?”
It is actually a seamless process. UAE banks have a “whitelist” of approved countries and will verify your financial health remotely. Here is what they look at:
Many of our UK and European clients ask us for a specific “Buy-to-Let” mortgage in Dubai. Here is the great news: The UAE does not separate residential and buy-to-let mortgages the way European banks do.
