What Are Commercial Mortgages?
A commercial mortgage is a loan secured against a property used for business operations or investment purposes. These properties may include offices, retail spaces, warehouses, industrial units, staff accommodations, or mixed-use developments.
With YOUAE Mortgages, eligible clients can access financing of up to AED 10 million, subject to property value, loan-to-value limits, and business financials. Our flexible repayment options and competitive market rates allow you to leverage real estate assets without putting unnecessary pressure on your cash flow.
If you are also exploring residential financing options, you may find our Residential Mortgages in the UAE service helpful for personal property needs.
Types of Commercial Mortgages YOUAE Offer
At YOUAE Mortgages, we support a wide range of commercial finance solutions to meet the diverse needs of business owners, investors and property developers in the UAE. Whether you are purchasing a property for your own business, acquiring an investment asset, or planning a development project, we help you find the most suitable commercial mortgage structure for your goals.
Owner-Occupied Commercial Mortgages
This type of mortgage is ideal for businesses buying property that will be used as their main operational base, such as offices, retail outlets, warehouses or industrial units. It allows your business to own the premises while freeing up working capital for growth and operations.
Investment Commercial Mortgages
Designed for investors acquiring commercial property that will generate rental income or capital growth. Lenders assess rental yield and long-term income potential as part of the eligibility criteria, making this mortgage suitable for investors focused on recurring returns and strategic property portfolios.
Commercial Development Financing
For clients undertaking construction or major renovation of commercial property, this structured financing helps fund each stage of the project. Funds are released progressively based on construction milestones and lender-approved plans, ensuring smoother project execution without putting strain on business cash flow.
Islamic Commercial Mortgage Solutions (Shariah-Compliant)
Shariah-compliant commercial financing options are available for clients who prefer ethical finance structures aligned with Islamic principles. These products are structured to avoid interest and offer alternative profit arrangements while providing the same support for business and investment property purchases.
Mixed-Use and Specialised Commercial Mortgages
For properties that combine commercial and residential components or have unique business uses, we help tailor financing solutions based on lender acceptance criteria and your project intentions. This includes mixed-use developments, staff accommodation and larger commercial estates where blended usage requires careful planning.
Off-Plan and Emerging Property Financing
Some lenders provide commercial mortgages for properties that are still under construction, subject to project progress and developer approvals. These options are useful for investors and businesses looking to secure financing early in the development cycle, often with specific eligibility conditions.

People Also Ask
Do commercial mortgages require a higher down payment than residential mortgages?
Yes. Commercial properties typically require 30–40 percent down payment, depending on business income, financials, and risk profile.
Can startups or newly formed companies apply for a commercial mortgage?
Yes, but startups may face stricter requirements. Lenders may require:
• A strong business plan
• Proof of capital
• Financial projections

We assist with structuring the application to increase approval chances.
Are commercial mortgage interest rates higher than residential rates?

Absolutely. For investment commercial mortgages, banks often consider projected rental income and current yields when assessing eligibility.

Not always. Many steps can be done remotely, especially with digital documentation and Power of Attorney options.
